 Following up on ticket:65811, and in particular [comment:ticket:65811:7
 this comment]: the `i3wm` window manager
 ([https://ports.macports.org/port/i3/ i3 port]) uses
 [https://github.com/i3/i3status i3status] by default to render data into
 its toolbar (managed by the `i3bar` tool). That `i3status` currently has
 no port.

 I’m actually tempted to add `i3status` to the `i3wm` port because of their
 close dependency, instead of adding a new port. That would make testing
 and installing easier—running `i3wm` would work out of the box without
 needing another port.

 Thought?

Comment (by ryandesign):

 The easiest course of action depends on how i3status is intended to be
 built. If it is intended to be built by integrating its source code into
 the i3wm source code, and then building i3wm causes i3status to be built,
 then yes, adding i3status to the i3wm port may be the thing to do. If, on
 the other hand, i3status is, like most software, separately buildable and
 installable, then a separate portfile is most likely the thing to do.
