Re: Request to revive a port?

I had a look at the FreeBSD-ports repository history and it looks like the
Jove port expired in January this year.
editors/jove||2024-01-18|Has expired: No upstream update in last 23 years
The upstream for this port is
https://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/moraes/jove/ARCHIVE/4.16/ with the latest
files from 1996.

That said there seems to be a github project which seems to be maintained
https://github.com/jonmacs/jove and it looks like the debian package uses
this.
I can try my hand at creating a port for this over the weekend if that
would be helpful.

Best,
Reshad
