pkglint -r --network --only "migrate"
As a side-effect of migrating the homepages, pkglint also fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines. These and the new homepages have been
checked manually.

Miscellaneous
changed repository from CVS to git
Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
User-visible changes between 0.6.2 and 0.7.0:
Requirements:

Changed to GPLv3
Bug fixes
Now works with address-space randomization.
The single-step debugger works again in some engines.
Many others.

Unicode support (currently supports only uniform encoding):
added xchars words for dealing with variable-width multi-byte characters
provide 8bit (ISO Latin 1) and UTF-8 support for xchars
New words:
\C C-FUNCTION C-LIBRARY END-C-LIBRARY C-LIBRARY-NAME (libcc C interface)
LIB-ERROR (complements OPEN-LIB)
OUTFILE-EXECUTE INFILE-EXECUTE BASE-EXECUTE (limited change of global state)
16-bit and 32-bit memory acces: UW@ UL@ SW@ SL@ W! L! W@ L@ /W /L

Improvements/changes of existing words:
S\", .\" now support \l, \m, \z, and limits hex and octal character specs.
OPEN-FILE with W/O no longer creates or truncates files (no compat. file)
OPEN-LIB now understands ~ at the start, like OPEN-FILE.
TRY...ENDTRY changed significantly, compatibility files available (see docs).
The disassembler (DISCODE) can now use gdb to disassemble code
Uninitialized defered words now give a warning when executed
Division is floored (disable with "configure --enable-force-cdiv")
Gforth (not gforth-fast) reports division by zero and overflow on division
on all platforms.

S>NUMBER? S>UNUMBER?
EKEY keypress names: K-LEFT K-RIGHT K-UP K-DOWN K-HOME K-END K-PRIOR
K-NEXT K-INSERT K-DELETE
CLEARSTACKS
FORM
Environment variable GFORTHSYSTEMPREFIX (used by word SYSTEM and friends)
C interface:
exported symbols now start with "gforth_" (for referencing them from C code)
libcc C function call interface (requires libtool and gcc at run-time)
alternative: undocumented libffi-based interface
Libraries:
depth-changes.fs: report stack depth changes during interpretation
ans-report.fs now reports CfV extensions
fsl-util.4th: FSL support files (undocumented)
regexp.fs for regular expressions (undocumented)
complex.fs for complex numbers (undocumented)
fft.fs for Fast Fourier Transform (undocumented)
wf.fs, a Wiki implementation (undocumented)
httpd.fs, a web server (undocumented)
status.fs, show interpreter status in separate xterm (undocumented)
profile.fs for profiling (undocumented, incomplete)
endtry-iferror.fs, recover-endtry.fs to ease the TRY change transition

compat library:
compat/execute-parsing.fs
Speed improvements:
automatic performance tuning on building
static stack caching (good speedup on PPC)
mixed-precision division is now faster
support for int128 types on AMD64
workarounds for gcc performance bugs (in particular, PR 15242)
branch target alignment (good speedup on Alpha).
and then adds it to LDFLAGS. Later, the configure script tests for the
presence of certain functions in libc, and expects to get an error at
link time if the functions are missing. On Interix with -export-dynamic,
the link succeeds even if there are missing functions. This causes
configure to detect all tested functions as present, and produce
binaries that fail at run time.
To work around this issue, postpone adding -export-dynamic to LDFLAGS
until the end of the configure script.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
dot uji dot es> in PR 23635.
User-visible changes between 0.6.1 and 0.6.2:
Bug fixes (in particular, gforth-0.6.2 compiles with gcc-3.3)
New words: LATEST, LATESTXT (LASTXT deprecated)
Operating environment: Added optional support for a C interface built
on the ffcall libraries (more portable and powerful than the old
one, but still not documented). To use it, the ffcall libraries
have to be installed before building Gforth (see INSTALL).
Miscellaneous: Gforth-fast now uses static superinstructions (some
speedup on some platforms); generally this is transparent (apart
from the speedup), but there are lots of command-line options for
controlling the static superinstruction generation.
User-visible changes between 0.6.0 and 0.6.1:
Bug fixes (installation on big-endian machines sometimes did not work)
User-visible changes between 0.5.0 and 0.6.0:
Changes in behaviour:
S": interpreted use now ALLOCATEs the string (they live until BYE).
Long word names (512MB on 32-bit systems) are now supported (change to
the header format).
New threaded code execution method: primitive-centric (allows the
following), hybrid direct/indirect threaded (easier portability),
with dynamic superinstructions (typical speedup on Athlon: factor
2). New engine gforth-itc for dealing with some potential
backwards-compatibility problems (see "Direct or Indirect Threaded?"
in the manual).
Operating environment:
Default dictionary size is now 4MB.
Large file support on OSs that support them (i.e., files with more
than 2GB on 32-bit machines).
Gforth can now deal well with broken pipes in most situations.
vi tags files can be built with tags.fs (usage like etags.fs).
gforth.el mostly rewritten.
New image file format.
New words:
Keyboard input: EDIT-LINE K-PRIOR K-NEXT K-DELETE
File input: SLURP-FILE SLURP-FID
Programming tools: ID. .ID WORDLIST-WORDS SIMPLE-SEE
Conditional execution: [DEFINED] [UNDEFINED]
Defining Words: CONST-DOES> ]]
Input stream: PARSE-WORD EXECUTE-PARSING EXECUTE-PARSING-FILE
String comparison: STR= STR< STRING-PREFIX?
String literals: S\" .\" \"-PARSE
Floating point output: F.RDP F>STR-RDP F>BUF-RDP
Miscellaneous:
Generalized prims2x.fs into Vmgen (see README.vmgen etc.); used the
new capabilities in prims (e.g., automatic handling of the return
stack and instruction stream).
