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.

Description:
Vim is a virtually compatible, extremely enhanced, version of the UNIX text editor vi. There are a lot of enhancements above Vi: multi level undo, multi-windows and buffers, syntax highlighting, command line editing, filename completion, on-line help, visual selection, etc.. Many features above standard vi's have been added: multiple windows and buffers, multi level undo, command line history, filename completion, selection highlighting, block operations (including column/rectangular blocks), syntax highlighting, on-line help, etc. Embeded Perl, Tcl, and Python support. See ":help vi_diff" for a summary of the differences between Vim and Vi. An X-windows aware or a full X-windows GUI version can also be built that allows full use of the mouse and pull-down menus See http://www.vim.org/why.html for a full explanation of Vim's features. Portability to all UNIX platforms, AmigaOS, Archimedes, Atari MiNT, BeOS, M$-DOS, MacOS, OS/2, VMS, WinNT+Win95. WWW: http://www.vim.org/

For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.

I shouldn't have been removing `gvim' from the non-GUI PLIST.   Also make the
gvim link relative rather than absolute, in case someone   specifies a different
prefix when installing the package.  Note there are   some burned in paths in
the vim binary, but there is no reason to totally   make this not work, when it
could somewhat.

Change motif to a normal dependency.  REQUIRES_MOTIF is now called   USE_MOTIF
and generates a LIB_DEPENDS to x11-toolkits/open-motif.  As   before, it implies
USE_XPM (and therefore USE_XLIB).  Motif-dummy is   removed from
PKG_IGNORE_DEPENDS, whose sole resident is now XFree86-3.
