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:
With the change to a new rc system in FreeBSD 5.x, common routines for starting, stopping, and restarting daemons was placed into /etc/rc.subr. this makes it easier to write new startup/shutdown scripts and to have them ordered correctly with rcorder. While FreeBSD < 5.x won't be able to take advantage of rcorder. We can take advantage of the simplified startup/shutdown scripts by using rc.subr.

sysutils/rc_subr has not been needed for a long time, all supported
versions of FreeBSD now contain /etc/rc.subr in the base. Version
1.636 of bsd.port.mk removed support for the RC_SUBR and RC_SUBR_SUFFIX
macros, so this is the last of the old infrastructure to go.
