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:
Apache Tomcat is a web server written in 100% Pure Java. Tomcat 5.x is the current release of Tomcat, and builds upon the Tomcat 3.3 and Tomcat 4.1 codebases. The 5.x releases implement the Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 specifications. Apache Tomcat 5.5 is the current focus of development. While it supports the same Servlet and JSP Specification versions as Apache Tomcat 5.0.x, there are significant changes in many areas under the hood, resulting in improved performance, stability, and total cost of ownership.

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().

In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.

Now that the Java 1.3 and Java 1.4 ports are deprecated and will expire soon,
remove support for them from bsd.java.mk.  As Jikes is not available in Java 1.5
or higher, remove it from bsd.java.mk too (suggested by hq@) and from the ports
which used it (only occurences were USE_JIKES=no).  Support for the Blackdown VM
is also removed, as it is not available in Java 1.5 and higher.

Also remove the mapping from Java 1.1-1.4 to Java 1.5+ in bsd.java.mk to detect
old, broken ports; therefore bump the minimal value of JAVA_VERSION to 1.5.
While here, replace static values of JAVA_VERSION in files/*.in by
%%JAVA_VERSION%% .

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.

- Make sure the rc script creates and chowns the PID file before running
  'daemon'.  No need for the port to create a PID file at install time
  (it would just be eaten by rc.d/cleanvar anyway).
- Use 'ps -o comm' to grab a suitable procname.  'ps -o command' is not
  reliable enough.
- Bump PORTREVISION since these changes fix broken rc script operation.

Since the procname of tomcat processes may vary due to javavmwrapper,
subvert the 'check_pid_file' procname check by setting it from the output
of 'ps'.

Remove the previous attempt at handling this problem, which was to put
a wildcard in procname.  I'll wear my pointy hat for that bogus hack.

Clean up Tomcat 4, 4.1, 5, and 5.5 ports.

These changes apply to all ports, unless mentioned otherwise:

- Move jakarta-tomcat55 to tomcat55 (it is no longer a Jakarta project). [6]
- Improve the tomcat55 rc script.  Fix PID handling.  Improve the
  shutdown process.  Use USE_RC_SUBR to its full potential. [2]
- Backport tomcat55 rc script to the other tomcat ports.  This allows
  us to pass command line arguments to the JVM.  Noted in UPDATING.
  [1], [3], [4]
- Change ownership of installed files.  All files are now installed
  with default uid/gid (root:wheel) except for those in the conf/, logs/,
  temp/ and work/ directories. [5]
- No longer install tomcatXXctl binary.  rc scripts are more flexible
  and can be reconfigured without recompiling.
