devel/capnproto: Remove BROKEN because it's actually working
There are 2 failing testcases out of 480 in kj-heavy-tests-run:
kj/async-unix-test.c++:977: failed: expected hupPromise.poll(waitScope)
[ FAIL ] async-unix-test.c++:941: UnixEventPort whenWriteDisconnected() (221
μs)
kj/async-io-test.c++:2953: failed: expected abortedPromise.poll(io.waitScope)
[ FAIL ] async-io-test.c++:2940: OS TwoWayPipe whenWriteDisconnected() (46 μs)
and this will be addressed but should not prevent us from building packages.
Scope of this seems to be limited to FreeBSD 15+ and exists at least since
capnproto 1.3+ but was actually only noticed when running the testsuite.

devel/capnproto: Update to 1.4.0
Changelog:
https://github.com/capnproto/capnproto/compare/v1.3.0...v1.4.0
Some tests are reported to fail on FreeBSD 15
(see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294259).
These failures do not seem to be new for 1.4.0. That is, both
1.3.0 and 1.4.0 pass on FreeBSD <=14 and both
1.3.0 and 1.4.0 have failing tests on FreeBSD >=15.
Thus, I see no reason to hold this update.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Fix CONFLICTS entries of multiple ports
There have been lots of missing CONFLICTS_INSTALL entries, either
because conflicting ports were added without updating existing ports,
due to name changes of generated packages, due to mis-understanding
the format and semantics of the conflicts entries, or just due to
typoes in package names.
This patch is the result of a comparison of all files contained in
the official packages with each other. This comparison was based on
packages built with default options and may therefore have missed
further conflicts with optionally installed files.
Where possible, version numbers in conflicts entries have been
generalized, some times taking advantage of the fact that a port (Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above ) |

Bump PORTREVISION for ports depending on the canonical version of GCC
as defined in Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk which has moved from GCC 8.3
to GCC 9.1 under most circumstances now after revision 507371.
This includes ports
- with USE_GCC=yes or USE_GCC=any,
- with USES=fortran,
- using Mk/bsd.octave.mk which in turn features USES=fortran, and
- with USES=compiler specifying openmp, nestedfct, c11, c++0x, c++11-lang,
c++11-lib, c++14-lang, c++17-lang, or gcc-c++11-lib
plus, everything INDEX-11 shows with a dependency on lang/gcc9 now.
