Re: Request to revive a port?

According to freshports (https://www.freshports.org/editors/jove) it was removed because there had been no update from upstream in 23 years.

Perhaps the port should be revived to use this github version which seems to show active development:

https://github.com/jonmacs/jove

It looks like vixie was the one who moved it to github — I would suggest giving a try to creating a new port for this version, and submitting it.  If this is something you find useful, it might be a reasonable port to take maintainership of.
