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,
including:
* kmail: Searching for messages does work again (Commit, fixes bugs
#458202 and #458245).

Announcement: https://kde.org/announcements/gear/22.08.1/
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.

Changes since 8.2.41:
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.42 (2022-08-28)
* Added support for reproducible builds using the `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` environment
variable. See https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/ for more
information.
* Extban `$Q` of type acting has been implemented. This extban prevents
matching users from using the `KICK` command.
* Implemented channel mode `Q`. `KICK` cannot be used on channels with that mode set.
* Implemented user mode `Z`. Users with that mode set may only receive private
messages from other users that are connected via TLS.
* Fixed issue where `WHO nick` on invisible clients (user mode `i`) wouldn't work
* Use upstream release archive as recommended by Porters Handbook USE_GITHUB section
* Remove MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE and LLD_UNSAFE
* Remove obsolete CONFLICTS entry (port removed 2 years ago)
* Minor cosmetic changes
* Return port to pool

Today they all get new bugfix source releases with updated translations.
Full changelog:
https://kde.org/announcements/changelogs/gear/21.12.2/
There have been lots of missing CONFLICTS_INSTALL entries, either
because conflicting ports were added without updating existing ports,
due to name changes of generated packages, due to mis-understanding
the format and semantics of the conflicts entries, or just due to
typoes in package names.
This patch is the result of a comparison of all files contained in
the official packages with each other. This comparison was based on
packages built with default options and may therefore have missed
further conflicts with optionally installed files.
Where possible, version numbers in conflicts entries have been
generalized, some times taking advantage of the fact that a port
cannot conflict with itself (due to logic in bsd.port.mk that
supresses the pattern match result in that case).
A few ports that set the conflicts variables depending on complex
conditions (e.g. port options), have been left unmodified, despite
probably containing outdated package names.
These changes should only affect the installation of locally built
ports, not the package building with poudriere. They should give an
early indication of the install conflict in cases where currently
the pkg command aborts an installation when it detects that an
existing file would be overwritten,

Many CONFLICTS definitions used patterns like "bash-[0-9]*" to filter
for the bash package in any version. But that pattern is functionally
identical with just "bash".

This is because several functions in source/expr2.c are marked __inline,
without either static or extern keyword. The compiler then has to assume
the function is also externally available.
Fix this by marking the affected functions static.
