And the waiting is going on. Hopefully i will get a reaction after the 
third email.

In the meantime another option arrived. Olivier Duchateau worked on 
getting Node.js ports into tree, which would definitely fix 
deskutils/ladon. A link to his status report:
https://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2015-07-2015-09.html#Node.js-Modules

I've already contacted him, but he mentioned, that there is only a very 
slow progress in getting his work into the portstree. But there is 
already a list of over 100 ports prepared, including all ports we need 
for ladon.

Greetings,
Torsten
