Over 120 individual programs plus dozens of programmer libraries and
feature plugins are released simultaneously as part of KDE Gear.
The full changelog can be found here:
https://kde.org/announcements/changelogs/gear/21.04.2/
5.9.9 of the Porters Handbook defines the use of pkgname/version
dependencies which does not include globbing. Incidentally
`pkg info` is used by the ports framework which does support it
but external tools, like Poudriere, don't expect this.
None of these needed globbing. If there is a good reason beyond
convenience for the feature then it needs to be documented and
tools updated.
USE_GCC=any has been equivalent to USE_GCC=yes in most cases (such
as i386 and amd64 since 12.x and depending on configuration 11.x,
most newer installations on other platforms, and 13.x across the
board).
Since commit 96c17633d9 Mk/bsd.gcc.mk is treating them as
different spellings of the same, so continue the deorbiting of the
USE_GCC=any form and simply replace it with USE_GCC=yes.
This should not make any functional difference at all.

KDE Gear 21.04
Thursday, 22 April 2021
Welcome to KDE Gear ⚙️ 21.04!
KDE produces literally dozens of apps for work, play, education, and
creativity. Kontact, for example, gives you control over all your email,
contact, and agenda; Itinerary keeps you up to date with everything you
need regarding your trips; the KAlgebra graphing calculator works
equally well on your desktop and your phone; Cantor provides you with an
intuitive way of analyzing data and graphing the results; and Kdenlive
makes cutting and building sophisticated-looking videos not only easy,
but fun as well.
These are but a few of the apps releasing new updates today. When
combined with the KDE’s powerful Plasma desktop, they provide you with
most, if not all, the tools you need to be productive in a versatile and
flexible Linux^WFreeBSD environment.
But you don’t even need to run Linux! Many of the apps in this
announcement work on Windows, macOS, and Android as well. This is what
convergent means for KDE: use your favorite apps anywhere, on any
system, on your work computer, mobile or even on your TV!
And, remember: KDE’s apps, the Plasma desktop, Plasma Mobile, Plasma
BigScreen and all the rest of KDE’s software are free and open source.
No licensing, no hidden costs, no spying. Share them with your friends,
install them at work, or use them in your school lab. It is your
software to enjoy where and how you want.

Samurai is a Ninja-compatible build tool with fewer dependencies
than Ninja. Hook it to the framework via a new NINJA_DEFAULT.
This also adds %p to NINJA_STATUS to make Ninja or Samurai print
the percentage of completed jobs to make it easier to eyeball how
much of the build is done.

No revision bump tool that we have cleans them up or deals with
them, so we end up with duplicated lines. Instead of implementing
that just clean up the 51 ports that do this.
PORTREVISION and PORTEPOCH can be set to 0 explicitly instead if
you need a reminder or placeholder.
PIE with static libraries is currently unsupported in the FreeBSD base
system. Explicitly disable PIE for in affected ports for now.
Emailed maintainer for approval, no objection.
