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:
Slurp is an advanced passive NNTP client for UNIX. It will connect to a remote NNTP server and retrieve articles in a specified set of Usenet newsgroups that have arrived after a particular date (typically the last time it was invoked) for processing by your local news system or forwarding on via UUCP to another news system. It replaces nntpxfer from the NNTP 1.5.12 reference implementation and nntpget from the INN distribution. Patches from Peter Fox (fox@roestock.demon.co.uk) have been added to avoid downloading articles from certain sites. To make use of this facility, create a file ${PREFIX}/news/lib/excludesites and list the sites in it, eg fritter.spam.com hackers.org

slurp port overwrites/delete existing configuration file

        Installing(/deinstalling) package slurp-1.10_1 causes any
        existing configuration file /usr/local/news/lib/slurp.sys
        to be overwritten(/deleted).
        Since this file may be quite long this is a considerable
        annoyance.

        Package should install a sample file instead, eg.
        /usr/local/news/lib/slurp.sys.sample
