STFL is a library which implements a curses-based widget set for text
terminals. The STFL API can be used from C, SPL, Python, Perl and Ruby.
Since the API is only 14 simple function calls big and there are
already generic SWIG bindings it is very easy to port STFL to
additional scripting languages.
A special language (the Structured Terminal Forms Language) is used to
describe STFL GUIs. The language is designed to be easy and fast to
write so an application programmer does not need to spend ages fiddling
around with the GUI and can concentrate on the more interesting
programming tasks.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f 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)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
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.

ncurses: fix build with futur base and ports ncurses
in preparation for the split in base of libtinfo and libncurses, clearly
specify when the packages should link against.
Note this also fixes the build with ports ncurses
devel/stfl:
- Fix a crash on FreeBSD 10 by indicating the port uses the WCHAR_T
iconv extension.
- Use more of the port's own build system. This simplifies the Makefile.
www/newsbeuter:
- Indicate the port uses the //TRANSLIT iconv extension.
- Use OPTIONS_SUB.
PR: ports/186257
Approved by: arved (maintainer)
The vast majority of pkg-descr files had the following format when they
had both lines:
Author: ...
WWW: ....
So standardize on that, and move them to the end of the file when necessary.
Also fix some more whitespace, and remove more "signature tags" of varying
forms, like -- name, etc.
s/AUTHOR/Author/
A few other various formatting issues
Add a new macro to deal with conflict between ncurses from base and ncurses from
ports.
If a ports is linked against ncurses from base or from the ports, it should then
add:
USE_NCURSES=yes
it is also possible to specify the hard dependency on the ports ncurses or one
the base one adding the following macros:
WITH_NCURSES_PORT=yes or WITH_NCURSES_BASE=yes

- Update to 0.18
- Prefer ncursesw from ports when both ports and /lib versions
are available, to avoid conflict with newsbeuter, which depends
on stfl and prefers ncursesw from ports.
