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) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Description:
Mercury is a Java Based MSN client. With Mercury you can do the same things as with your normal messenger: * Talk to friends * Change your nickname and status * Add a display picture (also know as avatar) * Send files through the MSN server (for people with a firewall etc..) or direct * Away messages, if you are online, busy or whatever you can always have an away message. * Play games (Tic Tac Toe and Connect4 only at the moment) * Watch the webcam of your friends (Mercury auto-saves these sessions on the disk and can convert them to Quicktime movies) * Allow other people to watch your webcam (= video only) * Audio and Video conference is implemented (both sending and receiving) but still a beta feature Mercury also has some MSN7 specific features, and some additional features that your normal messenger doesn't have, for example: port forwarding for faster file transfer, handling of more accounts, having different MSN names for each contact, etc. WWW: http://www.mercury.im/

Convert all :U to :tu and :L to :tl

Since FreeBSD 8.4 and FreeBSD 9.1 make(1) do support :tu and :tl as a
replacement for :U and :L (which has been marked as deprecated)

bmake which is the default on FreeBSD 10+ only support by default
:tu/:tl a hack has been added at the time to support :U and :L to ease
migration. This hack is now not necessary anymore

Note that this makes the ports tree incompatible with make(1) from
FreeBSD 8.3 or earlier
