[-- Attachment #1 --] I had a look at the FreeBSD-ports repository history and it looks like the Jove port expired in January this year. editors/jove||2024-01-18|Has expired: No upstream update in last 23 years The upstream for this port is https://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/moraes/jove/ARCHIVE/4.16/ with the latest files from 1996. That said there seems to be a github project which seems to be maintained https://github.com/jonmacs/jove and it looks like the debian package uses this. I can try my hand at creating a port for this over the weekend if that would be helpful.
