I have read about pkgsrc-wip in the past. My understanding is that it is
designed for packages that need more testing and everything. This brs
package is extremely simple and I do not forsee it having any problems.
I have been using it for years on different computers. It would seem to
me that it would not be a problem for it to go straight into pkgsrc.
However, I defer to others who know better than I.
