CopperSpice is a toolkit, forked from Qt and updated to use
modern C++ and CMake in the Qt 5.something LGPL days. It was
removed from the tree for being unfetchable in 2017, now
restored. I didn't bother to look at the old ports files, so
this is entirely new work.
CS builds cleanly, except I patched in -pthread as a linker
option; I think this ought to be part of the Threads package
found by CMake, but it isn't (on FreeBSD at least). Some linkage
options need to be PUBLIC to be carried through to consuming
applications (this is a FreeBSD thing).
While here, introduce the misc/copperspice-examples which
is a demo application *kitchensink* that exercises the libraries.
CopperSpice shares notional-filenames with Qt (e.g. binaries
called "lupdate" for UI design) but the Qt ports are versioned
("lupdate-qt5"). CopperSpice gets "-cs" as a suffix.
There's a bunch of patching to make things "behave" like a
regularly packaged set of libraries and applications that
consume those libraries. In particular using $(LOCALBASE)/share/
rather than putting everything in the same target directory.

Over 120 individual programs plus dozens of programmer libraries and
feature plugins are released simultaneously as part of KDE Gear.
Today they all get new bugfix source releases with updated translations.
Full changelog:
https://kde.org/announcements/changelogs/gear/21.12.2/
SIP:
As mentioned in the update from sip to sip5, this is a transitional version
to remove what is deprecated in sip4.
Sip6 completely removes the deprecated parts.
Unfortunately, some ports — mostly cura things — can not use sip6, so we
reintroduce sip4.
PyQt:
At the same time, we took the opportunity to simplify PyQT and propose only one
package as for devel/pyside2. */py-qt5-* have been merged — excepted chart,
networkauth and webengine — into devel/py-qt5-pyqt.
This allows us to be in adequacy with the packages that the author of these
libraries proposes, namely:
PyQt - devel/py-qt5-pyqt
PyQt-Charts - x11-toolkits/py-qt5-chart
PyQt-NetworkAuth – net/py-qt5-networkauth
PyQt-WebEngine – www/py-qt5-webengine
SIP – devel/py-sip
py-sip - devel/py-qt5-sip
PyQt-builder - devel/py-qtbuilder
Qscintilla - devel/py-qt5-qscintilla2

Import minizip-ng and zlib-ng
Minizip was originally developed in 1998. It was first included in the zlib
distribution as an additional code contribution starting in zlib 1.1.2. Since
that time, it has been continually improved upon and contributed to by many
people.
+ Creating and extracting zip archives.
+ Adding and removing entries from zip archives.
+ Read and write raw zip entry data.
+ Reading and writing zip archives from memory.
+ Zlib, BZIP2, LZMA, and ZSTD compression methods.
+ Password protection through Traditional PKWARE and WinZIP AES encryption.
+ Buffered streaming for improved I/O performance.
some ports bundle it, some ports allow building against a systemwide
one, some ports bundle/rely on an incompatible version - all those will be
fixed in following commits.
Mk/Uses: Introduce USES=minizip[:ng]
To simplify, the LIB_DEPENDS part a new USES tag is added.
USES=minizip will add a LIB_DEPENDS on legacy minizip and
USES=minizip:ng will add a LIB_DEPENDS on minizip-ng.
