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. Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)fb16dfecae
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. Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)b7f05445c0

Update to 1.47.14 - Revert --version parsing change from 1.47.13, which had unintended consequences for some version strings. In short, it is not possible to unambiguously determine the split between the package/program name and version in some of the supported formats. Multi-word package names are supported only in the "program (GNU package) version" variant (closes: #958345).b682cb4c0a
Update to 1.47.13
- Merge change from Po-Chuan Hsieh to suppress creation of an empty pkglibdir
when nls is disabled.
- Remove install_dirs target entirely, add explicit $(MKINSTALLDIRS) before each
$(INSTALL_{DATA,PROGRAM}) call.
- Update parsing of --version to allow multi-word programs when constructing the
placeholder NAME paragraph (thanks to Jarno Suni).fb9edd0a1fAdd NO_ARCH when NLS is disabled6a4fc9fe83

Update to 1.47.12 - Fix minor error in po/es.po. - Fix ordering of "other" sections in manual page (as reported by Reuben Thomas).c76aa21877
Update to 1.47.11 - Adjust maintainer sanity check again, this time to handle binary NMUs (closes: #934601).5784029f37
Update to 1.47.10 - Change maintainer sanity check in debian/rules to use the contents of README rather than the mtime, which may be have been modified by dpkg-source (closes: #925136).de68d8feee
Update to 1.47.9 - Add Tamil translation (thanks to Arun Isaac).2080db9842
Install texinfo files (GNU info) into ${PREFIX}/share/info
After a discussion on the mailing list on moving manpages to
${PREFIX}/share/man for consistency with base where it is
installed in usr/share/man, it appeared the same should happen
to GNU info files which were installed under share in base and
not in ports.
Now texinfo is not in base on any of the supported version of FreeBSD
it is possible to proceed to this move and it is easier to do than
the manpage change.
Other benefit than consistency are less patching: all build tools but
cmake are expecting info files to be under share/info and cmake (patched here)
was having an exception for BSD so the patch makes FreeBSD case less
specific for them
