OpenBSD port no longer available: marked "broken" in tree

[TuggyNE]

Running pkg_add -v micro on a fresh install of OpenBSD 7.6 says Can't find micro. It turns out this is because it was marked broken due to something about syscall usage earlier this year. I'm not sure where to look for more information on that.

Sorry, I did not think there would be an email thread but this thread can be easily understood more. The situation was already figured out and there has been more attempted than I did: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=171418988805644&w=2

I haven't thought much about using my email address on public mailing lists so I do not know if I want to post email messages, but I was not able to find documentation in Go source code about the last argument being a pointer like said in the email thread. I think the cause of the bug is different but I explained it in the description of zyedidia/tcell#29.

There is a new version of micro but micro v2.0.13 (version distributed in port) seems to run properly on OpenBSD 7.6 when somehow changing go.mod and go.sum like in #3561 to update go-isatty and tcell. I do not think there will be a new release in a while, but the same can be done in the port using patches when zyedidia/tcell#29 is merged.
