  Affects: users of www/amphetadesk

  Author: lioux@FreeBSD.org

  Reason: 
    www/amphetadesk has been updated to use the USE_RC_SUBR framework
    for rc.d scripts. The rc.d script has been renamed from amphetadesk.sh
    to amphetadesk for consistency with other ports.

  Affects: users of www/amphetadesk

  Author: lioux@FreeBSD.org

  Reason: 
    www/amphetadesk can only be ran under a user with a valid home
    directory since it stores its configuration information there.
  
  

1) After repocopies:
  o Use SUB_FILES infrastructure to full effect simplifying the
    port's Makefile logic.
    - Switch from files/amphetadesk.sh to files/amphetadesk.in
2) Bump PORTREVISION since there was a PLIST change due to the new
   rc.d script name.

PR:     117082 [1]

Correct path to Compress::Zlib.pm after recent p5-Compress-Zlib update.

Remove USE_REINPLACE from categories starting with W

Remove the FreeBSD KEYWORD from all rc.d scripts where it appears.
We have not checked for this KEYWORD for a long time now, so this
is a complete noop, and thus no PORTREVISION bump. Removing it at
this point is mostly for pedantic reasons, and partly to avoid
perpetuating this anachronism by copy and paste to future scripts.

Replace ugly "@unexec rmdir %D... 2>/dev/null || true" with @dirrmtry

Add SHA256 checksum

Patch file names can only characters [-+._a-zA-Z0-9]. Therefore,
rename them replacing s/::/_/

o Take over maintainership on previous maintainers request
o Uphold hier(7)
o Add rc.d(8) rc.subr(8) script
o Fix several warnings
o Change default rss channels to BSD based ones:
  - http://www.freebsd.org/
  - http://www.freshports.org/
  - http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/73
  - http://bsdnews.com/
o Fetch an updated full channel list from the Internet if none
  previously exist
o Add fork(2)/exec(3) browser support with signal(3) SIGCHLD handling
o AmphetaDesk now allows per user configurations. Due to that, it
  now requires a user with a home directory so that. One can use
  the rc.d script to choose a user to launch AmphetaDesk from startup
  or just to run it normally from any user other than root
o Bump PORTREVISION
