codelite is good, including (especially) recently

[Space_Cadet]

I spent many a productive hour using codelite IDE to build some challenging projects. I am interested in the fate of codelite, it seems to have disappeared, it was a pkg, then it stalled around version 12, but you could build it. then that got problematic. So I took it down from git and try building it raw from the developer, and succeeded to my surprise. Is there some controversy here that has gone over my head? Its a GPL2 system and excellent including support for clang lldb and multiple other languages. Is it because they ignored the python vulnerability? thanks!

Port doesn't have maintainer and broken editors/codelite
You can step in and update the port.

Thanks abishai I will check that out. Is the same story with Mate desktop?

Mate desktop?

x11/mate does have a maintainer, <https://www.freshports.org/x11/mate/#packages> packages are available and <https://www.freshports.org/x11/mate/#history> history is fairly recent.

How can I step in and become the port maintainer? I'm a big fan of CodeLite and will have to do the manual build of the latest release anyway.

1. Read the Porter's Handbook
2. Fix and/or update the port (peferably in your own local git branch of the ports tree)
3. If it's unmaintained (MAINTAINER=ports@FreeBSD.org), set yourself as the maintainer (your Email-Address)
4. Submit your patch (IMHO preferably the output of git format-patch) as an attachment on Bugzilla ("Report an update or defect to a port")
