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.

New port: sysutils/perp: Persistent process supervisor & service managment
framework

The perp package provides a set of daemons and utilities to reliably start,
monitor, log, and control a collection of persistent processes.

A "persistent process" is any program intended to be long-running, highly
available, and purpose critical. Also known and often described as a "service",
a persistent process normally provides some essential, on-demand system
service. Programs that serve email, domain name queries, and http requests are
all examples of services that are normally run as persistent processes.

These are the programs that you want to start at system boot, and to continue
running for as long as the system itself. These are the programs you need
running in uninterrupted service, day and night, forever and ever.

perp helps make sure that they do.
