Hi, Thanks for working on this.

Wouldn't a normal user want the IPFS files under the default ~/.ipfs? So they wouldn't need to remember anything? The rc script doesn't work though? ---8<--- $ doas rcctl start ipfs ipfs(failed) --->8--- If you add `-d` you will see why: ---8<--- $ doas rcctl -d start ipfs doing _rc_parse_conf doing _rc_quirks ipfs_flags empty, using default >daemon< doing _rc_parse_conf /var/run/rc.d/ipfs doing _rc_quirks doing rc_check ipfs doing _rc_wait start doing rc_start doing rc_check Initializing daemon... 23:03:41.326 ERROR cmd/ipfs: setting file descriptor limit: cannot set rlimit, IPFS_FD_MAX is larger than the hard limit daemon.go:200 Error: no IPFS repo found in /var/ipfs. please run: 'ipfs init' doing _rc_rm_runfile (failed) --->8--- If that's correct, we'd need instructions for the user on how to up the fd limit. Probably via a pkg README. My only other comment is that the Makefile has a lot of whitespace. Can we make it look closer to other port Makefiles? -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk
