I volunteer to maintain editors/jove.
Thanks for volunteering, we usually transfer maintainership along with a updating. Do you want to create a patch to update this port to 4.17 and put yourself in MAINTAINER field?

(In reply to Harry NEWTON from comment #2) Thanks, if you have `DEVELOPER=yes` in your /etc/make.conf, it will run the additional Q/A tests. It currently shows: ====> Running Q/A tests (stage-qa) Error: 'bin/teachjove' is referring to /usr/home/freebsd-ports/editors/jove/work/stage Error: 'bin/jove' is referring to /usr/home/freebsd-ports/editors/jove/work/stage Error: 'libexec/jove/recover' is referring to /usr/home/freebsd-ports/editors/jove/work/stage *** Error code 1 I suspect the binary has these paths hard coded.
