Tag you are it. Consider it a field promotion.without a maintainer/port
Then there is also the "haxe" language and "kit" language.
I wonder which language will survive ...
Also this:Is not a FreeBSD port
A whole lot. It's not pretty. I personally only want to maintain ports I'm using myself, it makes things a lot easier... ideally, we would find a maintainer for each and every port, except for those nobody ever usesDon't we have enough ports in the tree without a dedicated maintainer?

There's a few things that don't get updated, because they're forgotten about. We don't notice it until someone looks into it, and before that, it was assumed it's the latest and greatest in the Portstree.What is needed is a program that watches the original source sites for various ports and when there are updated sources, it tries to update a port using the existing port and stashes results in somewhere. Such changes often quite trivial so it makes sense to automate at least the grunge work.
The first part exists, it's called portscout. Updates are mailed to the maintainers (or to the ports mailing list for ports that don't have a maintainer).What is needed is a program that watches the original source sites for various ports and when there are updated sources, it tries to update a port using the existing port and stashes results in somewhere.

of course). This is always necessary for any packaging work, no matter for which OS. But you can get that experience by just starting to work on ports...Another valuable pointer; thanks SirDice.I'll save you the trouble of reporting 'unmaintained' ports: Thread adopt-an-orphaned-port-project.36243

Do we really deserve it to spend our time on such threads?It was just something that came into my mind.
How did you try and how did you fail? Did I miss reading about it somewhere?Offcourse i tried it but failed.
