possible to run ut2004 on freebsd?

[aimeec1995]

I was wondering if it was possible to run UT2004 on FreeBSD. This game had native Linux ports back in the day, so I imagine it is doable but I cannot even find the files for it.

games/linux-ut2004-demo; port was removed a couple of years ago.

that is a shame, i guess doom 3 and quake 4 will be gone soon, too. is it possible to obtain the files?

there should be a repo for removed, unmaintained packages, if theyre gone forever just because they were abandoned, well then that is dumb.

It's subversion, nothing is completely removed.

So, you're volunteering to maintain them?

that is not possible i am not a programmer but i will be storing them personally
but i will look into what is needed to become their maintainer for the sake of keeping them around

I find that in practice, Windows has better backwards compatibility than Linux so another option could be emulators/wine.
