Hi,

this version finally works with PORTS_PRIVSEP.
Initially I thought I could get all the dependencies added as additional
distfiles,
but this ivy drove me crazy. Finally I switched to pre-create the
.ivy2/cache
and loaded it up to GH. But even there, I had some headaches, because
some dependency in the cache, had a version range specified to jna, where
I was unable to do it without manual tweaking of the cache. See the
README.md
I kept for some hints on what I did.

To pre-fill the cache, I disabled network block for _pbuild user, then
built the cache,
tarballed. then re-enabled firewall, saw it failing, tweaked it until it
"just worked".
Is there an easier way I could achieve that without manual tweaking?

As the other dependency ports, only tested on amd64, and as I mentioned,
there
is this cosmetical segfault at the end of data source ingestion. There I
have no clue,
where it comes from and what it is about.
If anyone is curious, test image here:
https://github.com/buzzdeee/testfiles/tree/main/diskimages

But when you then restart and reopen the just created case, the data source
is
actually added, and you can run all these ingestion modules against ist.

any testing/feedback etc. welcome.

Sebastian
