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.

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.

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

- 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.

Commit b7f05445c0 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.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
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.
This commit implements such a proposal and moves one of the WWW: entries
of each pkg-descr file into the respective port's Makefile. A heuristic
attempts to identify the most relevant URL in case there is more than
one WWW: entry in some pkg-descr file. URLs that are not moved into the
Makefile are prefixed with "See also:" instead of "WWW:" in the pkg-descr
files in order to preserve them.
There are 1256 ports that had no WWW: entries in pkg-descr files. These
ports will not be touched in this commit.
The portlint port has been adjusted to expect a WWW entry in each port
Makefile, and to flag any remaining "WWW:" lines in pkg-descr files as
deprecated.

Building as non-root often inherits the "nobody" user's would-be home
directory, "/nonexistent", which is just that. Provide something blank
in the WRKDIR instead.

For yet unclear reason this port was failing to build inside a jail
built using ezjail. It ended up producing a broken msgbind binary that
crashes early with 'Abort trap' message.
ezjail built jail uses lots of symlinks pointing to a nullfs mounted
partition and this combination seems to be the cause of this issue.
After many tests jsm@ figured out that removing LD_STRIP definition from
gnu/configure script solves the case. There is still something wrong,
maybe on nullfs code, that should be investigated, but at least it fixes
this port build.

This reverts commit 9db903a89b because
it does not fix the situation for lack of a PORTREVISION bump.
Let us use the opportunity to fix the real bug instead.
Now with xxhash fixed as of 0.8.1_2, drop 9db903a89, and
bump PORTREVISION so we flush out the old garbage packages.
A simple web search would have brought up that static_assert() is
a C11 convenience macro defined in <assert.h>, and a detailed
search would have turned up that this had been fixed in xxhash
before.
While here, add a smoke test to post-install.
