[Semibug] Assume responsibility for a port

[Jonathan Drews]

Hi Folks:

My system: OpenBSD 7.3 GENERIC.MP#1125 amd64
The port: math/maxima

This port has not been updated since 2022. I wrote the maintainer and
he no longer has time to maintain it. I have read the Porters Handbook
and successfully built installed maxima on OpenBSD. It runs but I have
not fully tested it. The problem is I get this error when running
xmaxima, the xwindows version, maxima is the command line version.

$ xmaxima
        
Error in startup script: version conflict for package "Tk": have
8.5.19, need 8.6
    while executing
"package require Tk 8.6"
    (file "/usr/local/bin/xmaxima" line 5)

and the xmaxima shell script says requires tk8.6:

#!/bin/sh
#  -*- mode: tcl; fill-column: 75; tab-width: 8 -*- \
exec /usr/local/bin/wish8.5 "$0" -- "$@"

package require Tk 8.6

<Snip>

The problem is I need two versions of Tk. one for xmaxima and one for jupyter.
Here is yhe output of pkg_info:

# pkg_info -R tk     
Information for inst:tk-8.5.19p2

Required by:
maxima-5.46.0


Information for inst:tk-8.6.13

Required by:
python-tkinter-3.10.11

Here is my Makefile for maxima. How do I specify it to use tk8.6?

My other question is should I join the ports@ mailing list?
