Sounds good.
I really don't expect you will need to change much on the project's
source code
-- which would be a primary reason to create a branch. I *can* imagine
though
that you'll need to store a lot of code/changes required to do the
porting of
the Perl packages you listed in one of the tickets into OpenBSD. Because development of packages is usually tangent on the development of the
project
itself, we've created package repositories within the GitHub 'ledgersmb' organisation: https://github.com/ledgersmb/ledgersmb-docker for the Docker packages/images, https://github.com/ledgersmb/pkg-ledgersmb for the Debian package and https://github.com/ledgersmb/lsmb-overlay for a Gentoo Overlay (package).
We could create another repository for the OpenBSD package(s), if that
helps?
I am thinking that the most useful thing will turn out to be some installation details for different web servers. That could be a longish list since there are quite a few choices. Putting that into the final package would be pretty cumbersome. And too much work to keep it always up to date. The base httpd server in OpenBSD can be run in quite a few different ways. But that's for much later.
You can close the issues on github. I did manage to miss the 1.7 instructions.
