Quick Howto

Create a new feed database:
> r2e new you@example.com

Edit $HOME/.config/rss2email.cfg if you so desire. Unless you've installed
a local sendmail-equivalent MTA, you'll need to edit the SMTP options.

Your local database is stored in $HOME/.local/share/rss2email.json

Subscribe to some feeds:
> r2e add freebsd-news http://www.freebsd.org/news/rss.xml

Avoid the "first run flood" of all existing posts from the feed:
> r2e run --no-send

Run it through cron. Feel free to increase or decrease the interval.
0 */4 * * * %%PREFIX%%/r2e run

There is only output if there's an error (which you probably want emailed to you
from cron anyway).

python: bump all USE_PYTHON=distutils consumers after RUN_DEPENDS removal

Any missed ports, feel free to bump.

Any ports that need setuptools at runtime can have the devel/py-setuptools
manually added back to RUN_DEPENDS, but understand that this practice
is deprecated; see CHANGES for details.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles

Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.

This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles

It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.

Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.

There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

This commit implements such a proposal and moves one of the WWW: entries
of each pkg-descr file into the respective port's Makefile. A heuristic
attempts to identify the most relevant URL in case there is more than
one WWW: entry in some pkg-descr file. URLs that are not moved into the
Makefile are prefixed with "See also:" instead of "WWW:" in the pkg-descr
files in order to preserve them.

There are 1256 ports that had no WWW: entries in pkg-descr files. These
ports will not be touched in this commit.

The portlint port has been adjusted to expect a WWW entry in each port
Makefile, and to flag any remaining "WWW:" lines in pkg-descr files as
deprecated.

mail/rss2email3: Update to 3.11

* This update unbreaks the port at runtime by using the builtin
  "html.unescape()" function (introduced in Python 3.4) instead of the
  "html2text.unescape()" function from textproc/py-text2html which was
  removed since the 2019.8.11 release.

* Submitter becomes maintainer because the previous maintainer seems to be
  missing in action as there was no feedback over five months.

While I'm here:

* Switch manpages to the preferred share/man location.
* Remove no longer required CONFLICTS_INSTALL entry.
* Update the WWW field to point to the new upstream repository.

Convert Python ports to FLAVORS.

Ports using USE_PYTHON=distutils are now flavored.  They will
  automatically get flavors (py27, py34, py35, py36) depending on what
  versions they support.

  There is also a USE_PYTHON=flavors for ports that do not use distutils
  but need FLAVORS to be set.  A USE_PYTHON=noflavors can be set if
  using distutils but flavors are not wanted.

  A new USE_PYTHON=optsuffix that will add PYTHON_PKGNAMESUFFIX has been
  added to cope with Python ports that did not have the Python
  PKGNAMEPREFIX but are flavored.

  USES=python now also exports a PY_FLAVOR variable that contains the
  current python flavor.  It can be used in dependency lines when the
  port itself is not python flavored.  For example, deskutils/calibre.

  By default, all the flavors are generated.  To only generate flavors
  for the versions in PYTHON2_DEFAULT and PYTHON3_DEFAULT, define
  BUILD_DEFAULT_PYTHON_FLAVORS in your make.conf.

  In all the ports with Python dependencies, the *_DEPENDS entries MUST
  end with the flavor so that the framework knows which to build/use.
  This is done by appending '@${PY_FLAVOR}' after the origin (or
  @${FLAVOR} if in a Python module with Python flavors, as the content
  will be the same).  For example:

    RUN_DEPENDS= ${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}six>0:devel/py-six@${PY_FLAVOR}

Allow these ports to build with PACKAGE_BUILDING_FLAVORS set.

Poudriere in particulr did not properly handle DEPENDS_ARGS which
made these ports not properly install dependencies.  That bug
is being addressed along with adding FLAVORS support to it.

- New port: mail/rss2email3

rss2email is a python script that lets you subscribe to a list of
RSS or Atom feeds and get new posts sent to you by email. It is
generally run via cron, but can be run manually as well.

This is a python 3 rewrite of the original rss2email project by
Lindsey Smith at AllThingsRSS. It does not run on python 2.
