On the good front, they are almost ready for a new codeblocks release, and that will be a frozen code base. They only release every few years, it seems -- last one was in early 2020.

Replying to kencu:
They have removed the github external completely, so I'll cull that out of the next update.
Yes, I see that they did that. As long as that module remains compatible with codeblocks and provides a useful feature there's no reason why we can't continue to include it in MacPorts.
They do just pull the trunk of the other external though -- they always have done, for years.
Yes, I see that, but it's not appropriate for MacPorts, so we need to fix it to make sure it doesn't do that when installed via the port.
