These articles have 99% of the information you need: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing-ports/index.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/ Since there's no maintainer, you may want to consider volunteering to maintain it. Generally, I open a PR. If I don't hear back from someone within a week or so, I'll ping the mailing list asking a committer to look at it, but usually someone jumps in and takes care of it. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com
