xwpe moved to a new upstream (https://codeberg.org/mendezr/xwpe) 


The previous maintainer, Dennis Payne, gave the blessing and documented it at the beginning of: https://identicalsoftware.com/xwpe/

The latest release is 1.6.6.

The changes that are relevant for OpenBSD are:

-   patches/ are upstreamed (1.6.6 is a normal autotools build)- files/xwpe.desktop and files/xwpe.xpm are now obsolete (upstream now installs its own .desktop, a scalable SVG icon and AppStream metainfo)
    
- new deps for the modern X11 UI + embedded terminal + LSP/DAP features: devel/json-c, devel/libvterm, graphics/cairo, devel/pango
(X11, Xft and curses come from base; SM/ICE are no longer linked)

I built it in a 7.4 amd64 VM: it compiles and links, port-lib-depends-check
is happy with the WANTLIB in the diff, and pkg/PLIST is what update-plist produced. I am glad to modify to your taste.

        
Best,
Juan

-Xwpe is an editor that allows you to write program and compile it
-without exiting that same editor. Xwpe is useful, because of its hudge
-of editing tools. You can compile, run, link, trace, your program as you
-want in it. It is easy to use and allows you to use many compiling
-utilities.
+xwpe (the X Windows Programming Environment) is a programming and text editor
+in the style of the early-1990s Borland Turbo C IDE.  A single binary runs in
+the console (wpe/we, ncurses) or under X11 (xwpe/xwe, anti-aliased Xft/Cairo,
+UTF-8).  It pairs a syntax-highlighting editor with a Borland-style menu and
+dialog system, project management, multi-language compiler integration and
+source-level debugging through gdb, plus Language Server Protocol and Debug
+Adapter Protocol clients.
