Hello!
I maintain (or try to) FreeBSD port of insight
<http://www.freshports.org/devel/gdb66>. I'd like to update it to match
a more recent (preferably -- the latest) version of gdb.
When I cleaned-up the port last time (2007), I ended up creating a
number of patches to make gdbtk-6.6 usable with newer versions of Tcl/Tk
and iTk. It seems, a newer version -- 6.8-1 -- is available since 2009,
but that in itself is rather long ago.
Is the project still alive? Does it make sense to keep offering it to
FreeBSD-users, or is it hopelessly incompatible with gdb-7 and nobody
has funding/energy/time to bring it up to date?
