Kiwix is an offline reader for web content archived in ZIM format. It is
particularly tailored towards Wikipedia and other wikis.
Libkiwix provides the Kiwix software suite core. It contains the code shared by
all Kiwix ports.
Affects: users of www/kiwix-tools and devel/libkiwix
Author: olce@FreeBSD.org
Reason:
Upstream released a new version (14.0.0) of kiwix-tools' dependency libkiwix
that the latest release of kiwix-tools (unchanged at 3.7.0) does not
support, and the devel/libkiwix port was updated to it by mistake.
In order to fix the situation without reverting devel/libkiwix to 13.1.0 and
bumping its PORTEPOCH, the new port devel/libkiwix13 has been created and
www/kiwix-tools has been updated to depend on it rather than devel/libkiwix.
This is expected to be temporary.
As devel/libkiwix13 and devel/libkiwix conflict with each other, which
apparently can confuse pkg (which proposes to delete www/kiwix-tools), users
having www/kiwix-tools installed are advised to upgrade it first separately,
e.g., by running:
# pkg upgrade www/kiwix-tools
Port Moves
port moved here from devel/kiwix-lib on 2023-06-12 REASON: Renamed to match upstream naming
devel/libkiwix*: Support ICU 76.1
This change is similar to what was done to devel/libzim.
It allows to build against ICU 76.1, without disturbing the build
against older versions (e.g., 74.2).
This is a maintainer update (olce.freebsd.ports@certner.fr).

devel/libkiwix: Fetch from official site; Enable tests
Fetch from the official site instead of Github.
Also, stop downloading Mustache by hand and rely on devel/mustache.
While here, remove a useless link flag for 'libz.so'.
While here, revise the description.

devel/libkiwix: Update 13.1.0 → 14.0.0 again
Now that devel/libkiwix13 has been created and www/kiwix-tools changed
to depend on it, fixing the latter's build and avoiding a bump of
PORTEPOCH here, we can reapply the update.
This commit is different than the initial update's one, as local patches
here match what was upstreamed in the meantime (see
https://github.com/kiwix/libkiwix/pull/1173).
Selected list of changes:
- Support of IPv6
- Better public IP configuration/detection
- Fix API errors in catalog searches if Xapian keyword in used
- Improve welcome page download buttons

devel/libkiwix13: New port for libkiwix 13
This port is assumed to be temporary, as the reason for its creation is
that kiwix-tools 3.7.0, the latest released version at time of this
writing, relies on libkiwix with major version 13, whereas
devel/libkiwix was updated too soon to 14.
An alternative would be to bump PORTEPOCH for libkiwix, but such bumps
are forever and should be reserved for changes in version numbering as
much as possible.

devel/libkiwix: Revert update to 14.0.0 (so, → 13.1.0)
The latest release of www/kiwix-tools, which is still 3.7.0, does not
work with libkiwix 14.0.0, so the update was premature.
We will be able to update libkiwix only when the new release of
www/kiwix-tools is out. (The alternative of maintaining a few libkiwix
ports with different versions does not seem worth it.)
This is a maintainer update (olce.freebsd.ports@certner.fr).
This reverts commit dafb538b3fd6 (devel/libkiwix: Update to 14.0.0, 2024-12-26).

Notably, a new /nojs endpoint (still leaves much to be desired), and lots of bug
fixes, including our local patch for meson that was integrated upstream.

all: remove explicit versions in USES=python for "3.x+"
The logic in USES=python will automatically convert this to 3.8+ by
itself.
Adjust two ports that only had Python 3.7 mentioned but build fine
on Python 3.8 too.
