2024-11-06 Today brought in a new category: filesystems. Sadly, the website did not process it well. I am working on that. It may take a few days.
2024-11-07 Commit processing is halted. I have a fix for the new category. It is making its way through the system.
UPDATE: the backend is processing the original filesystems commit now. It should take about an hour.
UPDATE: as of 20:30 UTC, the filesystems commit has been processed. Commit processing is now up to date.

devel/autoconf*: restructure to prepare for 2.71

- Rename autoconf 2.13 port directory, package, and command all to
  autoconf2.13 just like ports like perl and python.
- Let USES=autoreconf run gtkdocize if necessary.
- Rewrite autoconf-wrapper and rename it autoconf-switch to reflect
  better what it does.
- Delete patch-bison.  It has been reverted upstream.
- Add a patch to let autoreconf set the AUTOCONF environment variable
  so subprocesses like automake use the correct version.
- Make building of info files optional.
- Address portlint, portclippy, portfmt issues in devel/autoconf*.

- Update devel/automake to 1.15
- Update devel/gettext to 0.19.4
- Update devel/libtool and devel/libltdl to 2.4.5
- This version of libtool has been fixed to pass -fstack-protector to the
  compiler during linking.  Add the same fix to USES=libtool.  This should
  improve SSP support on FreeBSD/i386 8 and 9.
- databases/libmemcached, security/sssd: patch configure.ac so
  AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR appears earlier.
  For databases/libmemcached changing configure.ac causes manpages to be
  regenerated which requires extra dependencies so patch a makefile to
  prevent that.
- devel/xfce4-dev-tools: only depend on recent versions of autoconf and
  automake

Reassign the autotools-related ports to a new mailing list,
autotools@FreeBSD.org.  This is for individuals willing to put in
the hard work to generate patches and work with portmgr as we put
them through -exp runs and work through port breakage that they
create.  (A huge number of ports depend on these, so -exp runs are
required.)

Thanks to aDe@ for all the thankless work he's done over the years
to tame these beasts.
