https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=269533

            Bug ID: 269533
           Summary: emulators/hercules: update request
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
               URL: https://github.com/SDL-Hercules-390/hyperion
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rich@richgannon.net

Forgive me for my ignorance, I have never submitted a FreeBSD bug/PR, never
updated or made a Port, and am generally new to this process.

With that said, this request comes with a bit of background of changes over the
years of the software.

Hercules' original branch appears to be no longer maintained.  The maintainers
create a development branch for Hercules 4.x with a codename of "Hyperion."  A
release candidate was released in 2016 and there has been little development on
this branch since, leading to abandonment (https://hercules-390.github.io/html/
, https://github.com/hercules-390/hyperion).

The Hercules 4.0 "Hyperion" branch has been cloned by SoftwareDevLabs (SDL) and
continues active community development continues through this SDL branch
(https://sdl-hercules-390.github.io/html/ ,
https://github.com/SDL-Hercules-390/hyperion).

I am hoping someone can get this Port updated, or perhaps a new port specific
to the SDL branch ("hercules-sdl" or "hyperion-sdl"?) which has has significant
development since the currently available hercules-3.13 Port.

I am happy to be a beta tester any work on this Port.
