Comment (by chicagotripp):
Thank you for all of your clarity. Here is the reasoning behind why I had
choose to name the Portfile dmidecode-osx and why I had the master site
listed. First, the actual dmidecode project supports Unix based systems
but it doesn't support Mac OSX. There is a fork of dmidecode called
dmidecode-osx that supports Mac OSX natively, as well. The problem is I
have submitted a request to be added to their list so that I can submit
the modifications that allow Mac OSX natively but the maintainers have not
responded yet. I have intentions of creating the dmidecode Portfile and
making the dmidecode-osx obsolete once it is added to the master branch of
dmidecode. I had wanted the changes that would make the dmidecode have
native support to be official and then create the port, but you have a
point that only Mac users will be using this program so there is no need
to have that distinction. Except wouldn't the work directory have the name
dmidecode-osx and not the name of the portfile as dmidecode?
