Hello,
I've tried to update the FreeBSD port of ly recently.
I cannot build ly anymore of FreeBSD because there is no utmp.h on FreeBSD. FreeBSD switched to utmpx many years ago and remove utmp completely AFAIK.
Do you think it could be possible to switch to utmpx from utmp? At least Wikipedia claims that utmpx is actually somewhat standardized in contrast to utmp (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utmp#utmpx,_wtmpx_and_btmpx).
Cheers!
