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:
The readlink utility when invoked with the pathname of a symbolic link as its argument dereferences the symbolic link and prints the name of target on standard output. If readlink is invoked with an argument other than the pathname of a symbolic link, it exits with a nonzero exit code with- out printing anything. In other words, this is a command-line interface to the readlink(2) system call.

- Add --no-same-permissions to the EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS command.

Tijl Coosemans has been reported an issue that when root is extracting from the
tarball, and the tarball contains world writable files
(sysutils/policykit as an example), there is a chance that the files
gets changed by malicious third parties right after the extraction,
which makes it possible to inject code into the package thus compromise
the system.
