Hi;
lang/yorick is an excellent math environment under a very cool license. The
maintainer (and author) doesn't have access to FreeBSD and I don't have access
to yorick (they blocked access from dynamic IPs), so we are looking for a new
maintainer, or at least someone that can update it. Volunteers welcome!
cheers,
Pedro.
