The port is somewhat out-of-date: 1.0.1 is the current stable release, the FreeBSD port is 1.0.0. I tried building TeXmacs from the source, but it has some problems. I'm going to work on it over the weekend and see if I can get it working. I'll be submitting any changes to Joris (the main TeXmacs developer) so future versions should be tip-top on FreeBSD right out of the tarball. I use TeXmacs quite a lot and have some 1.0.1 documents that I need to continue working on. I am active in the TeXmacs user community (I wrote the Octave <-> TeXmacs link and other sundries) and I always stay current on the stable releases, and usually try quite a few development snapshots too. So I am in an ideal position to maintain this port for FreeBSD since I need the latest releases anyhow for further Octave/TeXmacs development. That I'm in a position to help the FreeBSD project as well is a happy state of affairs, and I'd love to pounce on the opportunity. So, is there someone specific I should email about all this?
