Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

FInally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combinatio for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

License: BICOM
WWW:
http://www3.sympatico.ca/mt0000/bicom/
Description:
Bicom is a data compressor in the PPM family. It is freely available and Open Source. Its most unique characteristic is that compression with bicom is completely bijective -- any file is a possible bicom output that can be decompressed, and then recompressed back to its original form. Of course, any file is also a possible bicom input that can be compressed, and then decompressed back to its original form. To support encryption applications, bicom also includes a passphrase-protection option that will automatically encrypt after compressing, or decrypt before decompressing.

archivers/bicom: unbreak fetch

Seems like the original upstream is gone.  Retrieve distfile with
slightly different checksum from other host.

While we are at it, dos2unix-ify port.

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.

Deorbit RESTRICTED && NO_CDROM, part two.

Move ports to the licenses framework.

RESTRICTED → auto-accept (unless expressly stated otherwise)
