Texinfo is the official documentation format of the GNU project. It was invented
by Richard Stallman and Bob Chassell many years ago, loosely based on Brian
Reid's Scribe and other formatting languages of the time. It is used by many
non-GNU projects as well.
Texinfo uses a single source file to produce output in a number of formats, both
online and printed (dvi, html, info, pdf, xml, etc.). This means that instead of
writing different documents for online information and another for a printed
manual, you need write only one document. And when the work is revised, you need
revise only that one document. The Texinfo system is well-integrated with GNU
Emacs.
===> The following configuration options are available for texinfo-7.3_1,1:
NLS=on: Native Language Support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
print/texinfo: Depend on libunistring
The configure script picks up libunistring now that is installed as a
dependency of gettext-tools.

Mk/**tex.mk: Convert bsd.tex.mk to USES=tex
- Update all the consumers to use USES=tex
- USE_TEX=yes is the old way of writing USES=tex which has been removed
and replaced in all ports
- Almost all of the USE_TEX features remains unchanged
- Some consumers had the same variables defined both in the mk
infrastructure and also in the ports which have been removed from the
ports as those are redundant.
In case any of the consumers are failing to build please make sure that
the nexessary USES=tex is there. Unlike previous USE_TEX=yes will no
longer load the required VARS for tex and related dependencies.

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 texinfo playing with unicode variables

Fix the download of auxiliary files
The main problem is that upstream provides unversioned auxiliary files
(htmlxref.cnf, texi2dvi and texinfo.tex) [1]. After several failure and PRs, I
decided to host those files in my LOCAL and use it as MASTER_SITES. It helps
make the update "expected". But it still makes problem when the users have an
outdated ports tree.
In order to solve this problem, those files are stored versioned (by date) in my
LOCAL from now on. Therefore, people with old ports tree would still be able to
fetch the files.

Install texinfo files (GNU info) into ${PREFIX}/share/info
After a discussion on the mailing list on moving manpages to
${PREFIX}/share/man for consistency with base where it is
installed in usr/share/man, it appeared the same should happen
to GNU info files which were installed under share in base and
not in ports.
Now texinfo is not in base on any of the supported version of FreeBSD
it is possible to proceed to this move and it is easier to do than
the manpage change.
Other benefit than consistency are less patching: all build tools but
cmake are expecting info files to be under share/info and cmake (patched here)
was having an exception for BSD so the patch makes FreeBSD case less
specific for them

Modernize port
- Add LICENSE
- Use = instead of += for BUILD_DEPENDS and USES
- Use PERL instead of LOCALBASE/bin/perl
- Use USE_TEX and TEXMFDIR (already defined in bsd.tex.mk)
- Add missing USES=iconv
- Use PORTDATA
- Silence patch message
- Cosmetic change
- Reformat pkg-descr
- Update WWW: use https://
- Bump PORTREVISION for package change
Remove a patch from devel/gmake so the port no longer depends on
print/texinfo which requires gmake. To break this circular dependency
gmake-lite was introduced. This can be removed now as well.
