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:
> There doesn't appear to be any decent way to compare the last modified > times of files from the shell... Before everybody starts inventing their own names for this, it should be noted that V8 already has a program for this, newer(1). It takes two filenames as arguments, and exits with status 0 if and only if either (a) the first exists and the second does not, or (b) both exist and the first's modification time is at least as recent as the second's. Other- wise it exits with non-zero status. (The preceding two sentences are essentially the whole of the manual page for it.) Relatively few people have V8, but in the absence of any other precedent for what this facility should like look, it seems reasonable to follow V8's lead: newer file1 file2 exit with 0 status if file1 exists and file2 does not, or if file1's last modified time is at least as recent as file2's.
