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.

1. preserve the latest skype version that has OSS support as net-im/skype20
(but schedule it for removal soon)

2. update net-im/skype to 2.1.0.81.
- It supports sound and video, please read the pkg-message to find out how to
make it work.
- OPTIONify

Both ports are based on repocopy from net/skype.

Create ${PREFIX}/${SKYPEDIR} before doing ${COPYTREE_SHARE}.
Without this step installing the port at 7.x has the effect:
-----
% ls -ld /usr/local/share/skype
drwx------  6 root  wheel  512 12 May 12:20 /usr/local/share/skype
% skype
/usr/local/bin/skype: /usr/local/share/skype/skype: Permission denied
-----
FreeBSD 8.x is not affected since it uses BSD cpio (at ${COPYTREE_SHARE})
which behaves as expected.

Note: packages are not affected, no PORTREVISION bump.

With new linux ports infrastructure introduction USE_GL=linux
is deprecated (it can't handle multiple linux base ports at a
ports tree). USE_LINUX_APPS should be used instead. Beware
that only fc4 (the default for all FreeBSD versions) and f8
is supported by new linux infrastructure (f10 is upcomming).

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!

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

Say hello to the linux mega patch, it consolidates our linux bits a
little bit and allows to proceed to a more recent linux_base from
a stable (read as: the major bugs should be ironed out or identified
and most linux ports build just fine) source.

It also allows to ship 4.11 with a working linuxolator (the EOLed
linux_base is marked forbidden because of a security hole).

This is a major update, please read UPDATING (and CHANGES if you
develop linux ports).

Changes:
 - change the default linux_base from v7 to v8
 - add a newer freetype to linux_base-8 for nicer fonts display [1]
 - don't let cpio use hardlinks in the linux_base-8 port to quiet some

- fix bug in RUN_DEPENDS [1]
- add RESTRICTED (no redistribution allowed yet)
- update to 0.90.0.4

If you get a login failure at registration time the user name may be
already in use (but there's another bug here, the name may even be
available).

Don't expect to hear something yet, sound doesn't work on FreeBSD yet.
I'm working with the skype staff on it.

Skype is a free program that uses the latest P2P technology to bring
affordable and high-quality voice communications to people all over
the world.

This port needs linux_base-8, the default linux_base is v7.1. You should
first replace the default linux_base with v8 with portupgrade:
        portupgrade -o emulators/linux_base-8 emulators/linux_base

Then edit /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf, add the line
        emulators/linux_base' => 'emulators/linux_base-8',
into "ALT_PKGDEP". This tells portupgrade to depend upon linux_base-8
instead upon linux_base-7.1 (where appropriate).

This replacement shouldn't do any harm, I tested icc and the linux version
of netscape navigator 4.8 with the new linux_base, and I haven't noticed
bad behavior.
