The cassandra2 port had been abandoned for a while when I came to it, but I
adapted what I found there to cassandra3+ and have updated and added new
patches etc. since with each release. No patches came from elsewhere though. A
few I have pushed upstream and subsequently was able to remove from the port.

Ah, by scripts you mean the maven directory. That comes directly from the
upstream source. The problem between maven and FreeBSD ports generally, is that
maven pulls dependencies (i.e. source files) at build time, whereas the port
system demands all sources are available at the conclusion of 'fetch'. So we
have included enough of the build in the port tree that we can trigger the
fetch of the maven repository before the main sources become available after
'extract'. Previously, I was providing the ~100MB maven repo with each new
version and it then had to be hosted on FreeBSD servers. Now when someone
builds the port, maven does its thing to assemble the repo during fetch, and
saves it to distfiles/ ready for checksuming, extract, etc.
