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.

For install:
Polybar was originally built with Linux in mind, so certain modules do not function in FreeBSD. Working modules: - bspwm - cpu - date - github - i3 - ipc (polybar-msg method does not seem to work) - memory - menu - mpd - script - text - xkeyboard - xwindow - xworkspaces (not extensively tested) Broken modules: - filesystem - network (requires wireless_tools) - temperature (requires /sys/class/thermal/* in sysfs) - volume (requires full alsa, not a wrapper) Unknown: - backlight - battery - xbacklight
