print/latex-biber: Update to 2.20 Now that TeX Live 2025 is in the ports, LaTeX Biber must also be adapted to BibLaTeX version 3.20. Changes: - Added new option settings `minyearinit` and `minyearfull` for `uniquename` - Added `\DeclareNamehashTemplate` and supporting macros to allow customisation of the nameparts used in name hash construction. - Added facility for custom namehash ids in extended name format. - Added new field `fullhashraw`. - Misc bug fixes PR: 286175 MFH: 2025Q24ae0dadf4d
print/latex-biber: Downgrade to 2.19 In some scenarios, v2.20 did not work sufficiently with biblatex v3.19. As recommended, switch back to v2.19. Therefore, partial revert of the commit 59b78e28ea9fda5ca133ff448b82146191fbf91f. Retained from the previous commit: - Textual corrections to the port - Pet portlint by rearranging Makefile entries - Keeping the customizations for test environment Reported by: Clemens Heitzinger (via private mail) MFH: 2024Q48612a25797

Unfortunately it is not possible for me to test all the consumers in runtime. So in the following ports I have removed USE_TEX=texmf so that someone who uses those can report the runtime files those are missing. If possible(based on LICENSE permission) I will try to create a smaller distfile out of the texlive-20230313-texmf and change dependency accordingly otherwise will reinstate USE_TEX=texmf.

print/latex-biber: rollback to 2.16 to be in sync with biblatex.sty
From [1]:
Biber versions are closely coupled with Biblatex versions. You
need to have the right combination of the two. Biber will warn
you during processing if it encounters information which comes
from a Biblatex version which is incompatible. Table 1 shows a
compatibility matrix for the recent versions.
Biber version | Biblatex version

In case any of the consumers are failing to build please make sure that the nexessary USES=tex is there. Unlike previous USE_TEX=yes will no longer load the required VARS for tex and related dependencies. Reviewed by: portmgr Approved by: portmgr (blanket)721e5776c9

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

Make it so that the default Perl is always called perl5. - Move Perl's man1 files along with its man3 files. - Move where Perl installs its modules man1 pages. - Convert the ports installing man1 pages. - Make different Perl versions installable at the same time. Though you should note that only the default version can be used to install Perl modules, and the non default Perl versions cannot use the modules installed via ports if they contain .so as they are installed in a version specific directory.
