As much as I like Nethack, I just do not have the resources to maintain this port anymore. Taking maintainership over from -ports was done in an effort to unbreak it and preserve this classic game, but now it seems that my unresponsiveness is only standing in the way of more and much better updates. Apologies to all those who have CC'd me in the last few months in mail WRT updating/unifying the various Nethack ports; do not let my silence stop you any longer!19b9975a13

Distfile changed on mastersite. From the UPDATE file for this update: >This is a minor bugfix release. Sorry, no major new functionality this >time around. The complete changes can be found in the UPDATE32.2 file and are therefore not included here. PR: 20563 Submitted by: Jimmy Olgeni <olgeni@uli.it> (md5 fix w/o description)c90047fdac
(1) Add new variable, XFREE86_VERSION, to specify which version of XFree86 (3 or 4) to depend to when USE_XLIB is set. XFREE86_VERSION defaults to 3 for now, but adventurous users can override it in /etc/make.conf. When XFREE86_VERSION=3, USE_XLIB will add a dependency to x11/XFree86; when it is set to 4, the dependency will be to x11/XFree86-4-libraries. When XFREE86_VER
Since XFree86 version 4 includes some software that used to be
separate ports, when XFREE86_VERSION=3 the following variables are
provided:
USE_DGS LIB_DEPENDS on x11/dgs
USE_FREETYPE LIB_DEPENDS on print/freetype
USE_MESA LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/Mesa3
USE_XPM LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/xpm
When XFREE86_VERSION=4, these variables have no effect. The
LIB_DEPENDS in the tree for the above four ports have all been
converted to the USE_* counterparts. For your information, this
is the count of the number of ports:
USE_DGS 0
USE_FREETYPE 16
USE_MESA 36
USE_XPM 236
There is a new variable, XAWVER, which is set to 6 when
XFREE86_VERSION=3 and 7 when XFREE86_VERSION=4. This is also
passed to PLIST_SUB so ports that build Xaw based shared libraries
can use this variable to substitute the shlib version number.
There is also a provision of using a separate mtree file for
XFREE86_VERSION=4, but that part is not enabled yet.
Reviewed by: the ports list
Tested by: make index (XFREE86_VERSION=3 only)
(2) Add hebrew to list of valid categories.
Submitted by: nbmc6bcad2436Convert to PORTNAME/PORTVERSION. The following ports hand invalid version strings so I fixed them: quakeforge, netrek-BRMH, netrek-COW3, tetrinet-x and xnibbles.2971a93e52

Shorten one-line comments. Boy, I'm listed as MAINTAINERs in a lot of ports or what! ;>14cd728249
And here comes the next round of Makefile updates, for games. Folks, there are lots of broken stuff and funky Makefiles here. Please check your ports, and also put yourself in MAINTAINER so I know who to talk to. Thanks....f4d6acbc42
Add CATEGORIES lines to a whole bunch of port Makefiles. Some ports are in multiple catagories - I'll expect the various MAINTAINERS to make further adjustments (and add any KEYWORDS lines) themselves.ac3066bf75

A dungeon chewing game. I don't use the X interface (and I can't believe anyone would want to use that) so this port only makes the tty version. CVS:3282d59f73
