Comment:
At first glance, the points raised seem very valid to me. With regard to
MacPorts, the main concern is whether it would be inappropriate to simply
switch doas over to opendoas, without changing the port name, or to change
the name? Both are reasonably easy to do, but the latter requires a
compatibility subport.
The only thing I would do before just switching over to opendoas is
investigate what FreeBSD has done. Personally, I’d consider them the
canonical upstream for porting stuff from OpenBSD to macOS.
For the record, I found the `slicer69` repository just by searching the
'net and GitHub. If you know the owner of the opendoas repository, I’d
suggest converting it into something https://github.com/opendoas/opendoas
— that would make it look more “official” to the next casual observer.
