Thanks for investigating and preparing a patch! > This would additionally need a REVISION bump in the port Makefile. > But this seems rather large and invasive.

The few commits in LemonBoy/bar in the last two years are mainly of cosmetic nature (see GitHub history), so the forked repo has the original and new functionality. @Joel: would you like to prepare a diff for switching? You could also take maintainer at this occasion if you are willing to take care of this port. Best regards, Ingo
