Robert,

Like Dr. Klepp has already told you, TDE -R14.0.X for FreeBSD do exist
as ports (for a good few), you may see/get them from our Trinity Gitea
Workingspace here:

https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/explore/repos

Then follow Dr. Klepp instruction's, to my knowledge there's no FreeBSD
packages, those binaries have to be built on your machine.

If you fell like contributing, please don't send patch in bugzilla,
instead register to TGW and then ask to be added therein as a contributor.

I wish bugzilla be set to "read-only" because TGW is where the TDE
development takes place with a 'new Branch - Pull Request' type of
workflow.

Hi man!
