Port Status #4

Looks like activity has stagnated and there is an unreviewed PR. Is this port still being worked on?

EDIT: I found the bugzilla ticket. It seems ports is not a good fit for this judging by the comments?

Well the PR includes all the NPM dependencies in an external zip which I don't love for a couple of reasons, it would be hard to keep it up to date, the dependencies would need to be hosted somewhere (even tho they are already available on npm), and lastly it would lock all the dependencies to whatever I downloaded at that particular moment instead of relying on package.json to get the latest (but compatible) packages from NPM (security updates, etc...). Unfortunately the FreeBSD package system with the requirement that all network connections must be done before it is installed doesn't work well with the way node packages are installed. I did get it almost to work but I have to take a look at it again.
