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:
This is a Linux version of the Netscape suite (Web browser, HTML editor, mail user agent and news reader). Using the Linux version on FreeBSD is necessary if you want to use Linux versions of plugins. Many plugins are distributed only as Linux binaries. The Macromedia Flash plugin is available, as are the Canadian and United States region packs, spell-checker, and talkback. AOL Instant Messenger is omitted (see ports/net/aim).

Say hello to the linux mega patch, it consolidates our linux bits a
little bit and allows to proceed to a more recent linux_base from
a stable (read as: the major bugs should be ironed out or identified
and most linux ports build just fine) source.

It also allows to ship 4.11 with a working linuxolator (the EOLed
linux_base is marked forbidden because of a security hole).

This is a major update, please read UPDATING (and CHANGES if you
develop linux ports).

Changes:
 - change the default linux_base from v7 to v8
 - add a newer freetype to linux_base-8 for nicer fonts display [1]
 - don't let cpio use hardlinks in the linux_base-8 port to quiet some

Security fix:  update to the latest versions:  7.1 for American
English; and 7.02 for French, German, Japanese, and Brazilian
Portuguese.  These are reportedly free of the onunload referrer bug
(#145579 in bugzilla).

The Sun Java plugin is no longer available from the same places.
AIM is needed by the 7.02 versions.  The DOM inspector and "venkman"
JavaScript debugger are available for 7.1.

Compress generated files with bzip2; omit "linux-" from their names.

The RDF files provided by the ports are no longer needed.

Update references to Netscape 6.

Run chmod to fix permissions on extracted files (for the Portuguese
slave port).

Remove unneeded XXXchecksum target.

Change the configuration process, so that extraneous files are not
downloaded.  This resolves PR 44101, submitted by Fernan Aguero.

The release notes say:

        Do not share a profile between Netscape and Mozilla builds.  Doing
        this can lead to unpredictable results, some of which may include
        loss of Search settings and preferences and unchecked growth of
        the Bookmarks file (large enough to freeze your system).  It is
        best to create a new profile for each or manually copy (and change
        the name [of]) an existing profile.

Warn users about this.
