 Hi there,

 I am a maintainer and developer at GNU Octave. I have noticed that (I
 think) all of the packages on MacPorts for GNU Octave have hyperlinks to
 the abandoned Octave Forge site. The new website for Octave packages
 (including those that were on Octave Forge is now [https://gnu-
 octave.github.io/packages/]. The transition from Sourceforge to GitHub has
 led to a boom in the contribution of new packages and the development of
 existing packages. While the Octave forge site still exists and links for
 some old packages may still work, these same packages now exist on the
 GitHub Octave Packages site, as do all newer Octave packages.

 An example to illustrate the broken links, the new statistics-resampling
 package at
 [https://ports.macports.org/port/octave-statistics-resampling/]. I have
 attached a screenshot with the broken hyperlink circled. The
 broken/outdated link is [https://octave.sourceforge.io/statistics-
 resampling/]. The link should read: [https://gnu-octave.github.io/packages
 /statistics-resampling/]. In other words, all of the octave-<packagename>
 ports should have follow the following address structure:
 https://gnu-octave.github.io/packages/<packagename>

 Sorry if this ticket isn't exactly in the format you'd like. Your ticket
 guidelines look great for getting the specific info you need to address
 problems with specific ports but this is a very general issue which
 addresses many ports and is not about the build of the ports.

 Kind regards

 Andrew Penn
