  o A mechansim for reading the spool directory
  o Kill file support with color blobs
  o Regular expression searching in articles and the newsgroup list
  o XPAT searching
  o Can use different fonts and colors for quoted text and headers in articles
  o Lots of action procedures that can be tied to keys. 
  o Supports multiple nntp servers
  o Tagging of articles and saving or piping them in order
  o Uudecode function. Not perfect, but handles most cases
  o article text widget is able to display wide-character fonts
  o article tree has a 'vertical' layout by popular demand
  o experimental: Decoding of 16 bit encoded charsets
  o Mailcap file support
  o save thread data between sessions
  o article prefetch cache and 'trailing' cache
  o Less restrictive locking of the interface
  o Message-id lookup of articles

Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.

The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

PR:             ports/124340
Submitted by:   edwin@
Approved by:    portmgr (pav)

- take maintainership

- set USE_XORG

- Welcome X.org 7.2 \o/.
- Set X11BASE to ${LOCALBASE} for recent ${OSVERSION}.
- Bump PORTREVISION for ports intalling files in ${X11BASE}.

Bump PORTREVISION on glib12/gtk12 consumer ports to ease the upgrade path.

Discussed with: kris
Approved by:    portmgr (implicit)

- Add SHA256

Bump PORTREVISION on all ports that depend on gettext to aid with upgrading.

(Part 1)

SIZEify.

 - Increase PORTREVISION (knews now realy uses libcompface as stated in the
   dependency secion) -> modified patch-aa

 - Modify patch, so libcompface is used as stated in the dependency
   dection of the Makefile

De-pkg-comment.

cvs commit: ports/news/knews/files patch-child.c

Fix build on -current (use TMPDIR environment variable to get preferred
tmp directory, and fall back to _PATH_TMP, instead of using header
definitions that are no longer visible by default.)

Bump png major    

Fix a bug in my patch, which caused the temporary file to be unlinked  
unfairly. Thanks, Alex!    

Re-do the patch-png.c "by the book" -- following the examples in   libpng(3) to
be able to use  the new libpng, which disabled some   deprecated interfaces.    

- knews won't compile if you have png-1.0.12 installed.     I made a fix, but
this interface in use is marked "depricated".   - Bumped PORTREVISION    

Massive style enforcement - use ^I instead of spaces for variables identation.  
 

Changed maintainer to ports, I want to reduce my personal workload.   Maybe I
take over again in the future if I have more time for this.    

Convert category news to new layout.  

MAN1=knews.1    

(1) Add new variable, XFREE86_VERSION, to specify which version of       XFree86
(3 or 4) to depend to when USE_XLIB is set.       XFREE86_VERSION defaults to 3
for now, but adventurous users can       override it in /etc/make.conf.  When
XFREE86_VERSION=3, USE_XLIB       will add a dependency to x11/XFree86; when it
is set to 4, the       dependency will be to x11/XFree86-4-libraries.  When     
 XFREE86_VERSION=4, the PKG_IGNORE_DEPENDS and ALWAYS_BUILD_DEPENDS       hacks
to avoid messing with XFree86 are turned off.    

Bump png shared library version.
