PR: 265760
ChangeLog: http://fuz.su/pub/schilytools/AN-2022-10-16.txt
This commit creates a new port archivers/tartest splitted off from
archivers/star. misc/schilytools depends now on this new port.
PR: 267131
Reported by: fuz@fuz.su (maintainer)
New Features:
- New gcab_file_set_bytes() API (!8)
- meson: Register the gcab executable with meson (!10)
Bugfixes:
- Fixed MSZIP compression when deflate algorithm would expand (#16)
Previous versions of gcab can produce "incorrect" archives (when a
compressed block is larger than its input). They are however
supported by gcab itself, and we will keep support for it for the
foreseeble future.
- gcab: avoid runtime warnings (!7)
- Fix coverity warnings (!9)

KDE today announces the release of KDE Frameworks 5.99.0.
KDE Frameworks are 83 addon libraries to Qt which provide a wide variety
of commonly needed functionality in mature, peer reviewed and well
tested libraries with friendly licensing terms. For an introduction see
the KDE Frameworks release announcement.
This release is part of a series of planned monthly releases making
improvements available to developers in a quick and predictable manner.

This avoids build failures when, for instance, BORG_NEW_PASSWORD
is set to another password than the one used by the self-tests.
Reported by: SimpleRezo <simplerezo@gmail.com>
PR: 266821
Not bumping PORTREVISION because this only affects the execution
of self-tests, which is pass (then the change is irrelevant) or fail
(then there is no package or installed port and PORTREVISION would
serve no purpose).
Archive::Libarchive provides a Perl object-oriented interface to the libarchive
library. The libarchive library is the API used to implemnt bsdtar, the default
tar implementation on a number of operating systems, including FreeBSD, macOS
and Windows. It can also be installed on most Linux distributions. But wait,
there is more, libarchive supports a number of formats, compressors and filters
transparently, so it can be a useful when used as a universal
archiver/extractor.
- point MASTER_SITES to new upstream
- split bosh from sysutils/schilyutils into new port shells/bosh
- stop installing pfbosh, a SunOS-only feature
- install jsh as jbosh to avoid a conflict
- patch shell names in man pages
- point WWW to subproject-specific sites if available
- misc/schilytools: deprecate man2html component
- devel/schilybase: add missing file to pkg-plist
- make test suite work better
- do not pass INS_*BASE/DESTDIR to smake tests
- account for devel/sccs placing files in /tmp
- make sh/tests/common/test-common find bosh after
we patched out the hardlink to sh
- Test suite passes on armv7 except for archivers/star.
Will have to investigate further.
- sysutils/schilyutils: add vctags command
I forgot about that one when I made the port initially.
The ctags link is not installed to avoid conflicts.

Drop most of the SIMD logic. The cryptopp Makefile autodetects CPU
features regardless if CPUTYPE is set and it is not possible to disable
specific instruction sets. It is only possible to completely disable
assembly optimizations, which is recommended for package building unless
all consumer machines support the build machine's CPU instruction sets.
Since version 8.1, it is no longer necessary to export
-DCRYPTOPP_DISABLE_ASM to the pkgconfig file. Consumers will now
build without it defined if the SIMD option is disabled. Remove old
workarounds pertaining to this issue.

Bump PORTREVISION on consumers due to ABI incompatibility.

These ports reference the pkg-descr file of some other port and used
to get the WWW entry from that other port's file.

Reasons:
(1) It has multiple vulnerabilities
(2) It is unmaintained
(3) It has a superior functional replacement 7-zip that is maintained
ppmd-7z's real name is p7zip on SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/bugs/
Most USES use a colon for build/run(/test) suffixes. Change kde.mk,
qt.mk and pyqt.mk to do the same, and update all ports using that.
