After yesterday's spectrogram fix (thanks again)
I updated the OpenBSD port of audio/sox.
I would like to use this opportunity to show
what the downstream ports do:

http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/ports/audio/sox/
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/audio/sox/
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/audio/sox/
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=sox;dist=unstable
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/tree/master/audio/sox

Given that the last release was 9 years ago,
downstream packages keep accumulating patches not incorporated into SoX,
and start either at 14.4.2 stacking up, or pick some git commit
or another and build on top of that.

Currently, there is 59 bugreports and 23 patches at sox.sf.net,
and others used downstream; with a few exceptions, these haven't
been touched in years, some of them decades. (Some of them are no
longer relevant of course.) There is cruft that has been broken
for decades, such as the osxbuild script or release.sh (which
"automatizes the release process" - what a laugh).

With due respect to the maintainers:
is there please any chance this will be sorted out,
as a way towards a proper release?
