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:
This is the full-featured Linux version VMware toolbox for FreeBSD _Guest_ OS. Beware, this port is _not_ for FreeBSD _Host_ OS. As VMware toolbox included in VMware tools for FreeBSD is not as good as that for Linux, it lacks some useful features such as time synchronization between the virtual machine and the Host OS. That is why this port is provided. Before installing this port, make sure you have a `linux.iso' file that comes with VMware: Windows: C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation\linux.iso Linux: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/isoimages/linux.iso

Welcome to the new linux ports infrastructure which allows using
both current (fc4) and future linux (f8) distributions at one
ports tree.

The patch contains full changes to ports/Mk files and all ports involved.
But only infrastructure is changed. The resulting packages are the same as
before. Hence no need to bump PORTREVISIONs.

The idea was taken from bsd.gnome.mk and others.

More than 130 ports are switched to follow a new linux infrastructure
introduced by changes to bsd.port.mk, bsd.linux-rpm.mk and a new
bsd.linux-apps.mk.

Thanks for all who was involved and helped me with this work.
And help from Alexander Leidinger was incredible.

Other changes are coming. Stay tuned!

Dear VMware Workstation users around the world, here is an upgrade of
VMware Workstation FreeBSD-guest related ports for VMware Workstation
5.5.0 build 18463.

New features are:

- Spell "VMware Workstation" appropriately.
        There are much VMware products, it would be the time that I have
        to spell VMware Workstation as VMware Workstation.
- Support FreeBSD/amd64 since 64-bit binaries are provided from VMware.
        I don't test any of 64-bit related portion, since I have no
        FreeBSD/amd64 machine.  If something trouble please email me.
- New variable "WITH_VMWARE_GTK" (emulators/vmware-tools5)
        Install gtk version of VMware Tools if defined
        (add more dependencies on other gtk-related ports)

Mega-patch to cleanup the ports infrastructure regarding our linux bits:
  - USE_LINUX now implies NO_FILTER_SHLIBS=yes. It also doesn't use FreeBSD
    tools to strip binaries anymore, so it's not neccesary anymore to override
    STRIP and STRIP_CMD.
  - USE_LINUX_PREFIX implies NO_MTREE now.
  - In the USE_LINUX case, USE_XLIB now depends upon the linux X11 libraries
    instead upon the native FreeBSD libraries.
  - The variable LINUX_BASE_PORT contains a string which is suitable as an
    item in *_DEPENDS, so if a port BATCH_DEPENDS or FETCH_DEPENDS upon the
    default (or overriden) linux base, ${LINUX_BASE_PORT} should be used
    instead of a hardcoded reference.
  - Change all ports to comply to the "new world order".
  - The Ports Collection now allows to override the default linux_base port.
    Specify e.g. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh-9 in /etc/make.conf to use
    ${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-rh-9 (the logic is to use
