Nick, If you're comfortable with grabbing the last known version with Subversion, and a bit of Makefile tweaking, you can be the new maintainer as well. No formalities involved for application. We have the FreeBSD porter's handbook that describes the details. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/ Just submit the updated port through our Bugzilla at https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla and stuff your mail address into the "MAINTAINER=" line, and a committer will take care of reviving it. Cheers, Matthias
