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) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Description:
cache-init, cache-update, find-updated and portindex are a set of perl scripts built around the common core of the FreeBSD::Portindex modules. Their use is to generate and maintain the ports INDEX or INDEX-5 files speedily and efficiently. Ultimately they work in a very similar way to the standard make index command, except that the FreeBSD::Portindex tools keep a cache of the make describe output from each port, and can update that cached data incrementally as the ports tree itself is updated.

- update to 1.7
- from Changes
  - Following some useful e-mail discussions with Mark Linimon
    and Dan Langille, switch to using the MASTER_PORT variable
    to detect master/slave relationships between ports.
    MASTER_PORT will be set in every slave port whereas
    MASTERDIR doesn't have to be.  Here a slave port is one
    defined as using port metadata from some other port, and
    doesn't have to go as far as requiring both master and slave
    to use the same Makefile and other ports infrastructure.
  - Keep track of the version of the software used to create the
    cache, and prompt for a cache rebuild if the software has
    been upgraded since.  A cache rebuild is definitely required
    for the 1.6 -> 1.7 update.
  - Don't quit on errors parsing make variables at the cache-init
    or cache-update stage.  Print copious error messages, but carry
    on processing.  Entries for ports that fail at this stage will
    not be created in the cache.

Update to 1.6:
This is a bug fix and general improvement release.  From the change log:
- Incorporate local ports/categories into the INDEX by scanning Makefile.local
for additions to $SUBDIR.  Mentioned on freebsd-ports@freebsd.org by
Rong-En Fan <rafan (at) infor.org>
- Clean up error messages, and factor out common progress counter code.
-  Add a new Category object type, and cope better with changes to categories
(ie. ports being hooked up / unhooked from the tree).  Problem pointed out by
Colin Percival <cperciva (at) freebsd.org>
 - Instead of calling perl to compile exactly the same bit of perl code from
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.ports.mk about 15,000 times (ie once per port) as a
consequence of actually running 'make describe', just call perl once, use make
to print out the basic variables from the port and replicate the processing
done ourselves.

Let the IGNORE message make a bit more sense and change it from:

===>  p5-Some-Module-0.7 Port requires perl 5.6.x or later. Install
lang/perl5 then try again.
