Revive + modifications The committer assigning themselves the (bugzilla) issue will take care of reviving the port from the last revision prior to deletion using svn. If you have an SVN ports repository and would like to do that to produce your diff, see: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/committers-guide/ports.html#ports-qa-re-adding > On that note, I've no experience submitting ports, just > modifying/creating them for my own servers.

SDince the port has been deleted, there's no maintainer by definition, but feel free to CC the previous maintainer on any issue you create in bugzilla If you have any porting questions or need help, #freebsd-ports @ freenode IRC -- Regards, koobs
