  • Code::Blocks Maintainer

    From Glen Walker@glenwalker2012@gmail.com to muc.lists.freebsd.ports on Mon Oct 13 23:31:28 2025

    Hello,

    I have recently been building Code::Blocks 25 on GhostBSD and will be
    building it on FreeBSD shortly and noticed that when I installed the
    Ports/pkg version that the package currently doesn't have a maintainer
    and is the older version 20.

    If it is still the case that this application needs a maintainer I'd
    like to offer my services to become the maintainer and work to update
    from the old Code::Blocks 20 to the current 25 version.

    Please let me know what I can do to help.

    Thanks,

    Glen

    First steps would be to check out the Porter's Handbook [0] and begin
    working on updating the port.

    Once you get a working updated port, submit a PR [1] for the port update
    and request to be the maintainer (while also adding yourself as the
    maintainer in the Makefile).

    Thanks for stepping up!
