Ok,

on latest latest snapshot ( sunday afternoon UTC)
Compiles with warnings,   I will discuss compiler warnings with upstream
and see what can be done about them, I see some low hanging fruit like
strcpy vs strlcpy etc...


make FETCH_PACKAGES=   works,
make install  and make package and makesum works,
works (after i update un-commenting fastnetmon entry in
/usr/ports/infrastructure/db/user.list


upgrade fromfastnetmon-1.1.7p2->1.2.9pre20260425: ok

the system seems to be receiving flows and version information is correct

I have a crash montior running to see if fastnetmon is running and to
restart it and log it

It will be nice to see if the new version is more stable in OpenBSD, Ill
report back
,

for info I have included, the check which I needed in the past to keep
fastnetmon running on OpenBSD
