x11-fonts/gentium-plus: update to 6.200 Changes: https://software.sil.org/gentium/gentium-plus-release-6-200/d90b32978e
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

According to the Porter's Handbook (5.12.2.3.) default options must be added to OPTIONS_DEFINE. This policy has been implemented only recently that's why we have many ports violating this policy. This patch adds the default options specified in the Porter's Handbook to OPTIONS_DEFINE where they are being used. Ports maintained by gnome@FreeBSD.org, kde@FreeBSD.org and x11@FreeBSD.org have been excluded. Approved by: portmgr (bapt)5005b67362
- Chase r336083 and bump all ports using NO_ARCH so that users building their own packages and still on pkg 1.1.4 can upgrade. With hat: portmgr77197dd811
Mark all my architecture independent ports using shell/perl/PHP as NO_ARCH=yes
While here, fix a few other niggles:
net/phpldapadmin -- remove indefinite article from COMMENT
www/p5-RT* -- fix comments referencing the different versions of RT
x11-fonts/gentium-{basic,plus} -- mention ${STAGEDIR} explicitly in the
install targets; rework the handling of ${FONTPATH}08f342435d- Update LICENSE accordingly, now that OFL10 and OFL11 are defined With hat: portmgr1d1f94afe7
- Stageify90ca0908f8
Add NO_STAGE all over the place in preparation for the staging support (cat: x11-fonts)8370206e3b
Fix usage of the license framework, so that packaging can happen and the ports not be considered as restricted Reported by: pkg-fallout597f8e5f36
Belatedly commit removal of the original x11-fonts/gentium which was moved to x11-fonts/gentium-plus in r308966 Submitted by: linimon0086deaf3c
Rework the gentium and gentium-basic font ports - Rename gentium to gentium-plus tracking upstream changes - Use the generic facilities provided in bsd.xorg.mk for handling font installation, rather than rolling our own. This allows removing files/fonts.dir from both ports. - Add LICENSE, and so modify pkg-message not to mention licensing - Use PLIST_FILES and PORTDOCS rather than9183a5e528

[maintainer] x11-fonts/gentium -- upgrade to 1.0.2 Gentium has been re-released under a new, more liberal license. The Sil OFL (Open Font License) claims to be fully FLOSS compliant, and means that the restriction against including this port on a CDROM can be dropped. http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=OFL In addition, the authors of this font seem to have managed to change just about everything it is possible to change about their download tarball with the notable exception of the actual font glyphs... Note to committer: gentium/pkg-message has moved to gentium/files/pkg-message.in Also no more need for an entry in /usr/ports/LEGAL for this port.
