ES-DE (formerly known as EmulationStation Desktop Edition) is a frontend for
browsing and launching games from your multi-platform collection.
The goal of this project is to create a high quality frontend that is easy to
use, requires minimal setup and configuration, looks nice, and is available
across a wide range of operating systems.
It comes preconfigured for use with a large selection of emulators, game
engines, game managers and gaming services. It can also run locally installed
games and applications. It's fully customizable, so you can easily expand it
with support for additional systems and applications.
Features:
- Modern and attractive user interface
- Full controller navigation support
- Supports over 150 game systems
- Ships preconfigured - minimal setup required
- Simple to use, you'll be up and running within minutes
- Still highly customizable if you prefer to tailor your setup
- Built-in scraper for downloading game info and game media
- Supports scraping of images, videos and game manuals
- Lots of configuration options
- Fully themeable which allows for very different looks
- Lots of high-quality themes available for download
- Extensive system support from all official themes
===> The following configuration options are available for es-de-3.5.0:
DEINIT=on: Deinit frontend on emulator launch
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
The port provides the enabled by default DEINIT option. It deinits the renderer,
application window and audio system when an emulator is launched. This can save
some resources while playing the actual games, but also benefits audiophile
users, who provide only exclusive access to the audio device with the sysctl
dev.pcm.%d.play.vchans=0. Without the DEINIT option enabled, ES-DE will keep the
audio device open and prevent the launched emulator from also opening it in this
case, effectively disabling sound on the emulator.
emulators/es-de: Unbreak after x11-fonts/ubuntu-font update
The recently updated x11-fonts/ubuntu-font has different names for its
*.ttf files. This broke es-de at runtime, because it explicitly wants to
load "Ubuntu-C.ttf", which isn't provided by ubuntu-font anymore.
The port links to "Ubuntu[wdth,wght].ttf" instead to unbreak es-de.
While here, apply the new framework-provided BUILD_RUN_DEPENDS in place
of the custom _BR_DEPENDS variable.

emulators/es-de: update to 3.4.1, improve port
* Improve readability by inserting a newline between the *_DEPENDS
variables, and by putting USE_GITLAB with its related variable in its
own block. Also, against portfmt's suggestion, the INSTALL_DATA in the
post-install-DOCS-on target is way too short to warrant a linebreak
and looks weird, so remove the linebreak.
* Safeguard EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS' --exclude entry to match the intended
path only.
* Refresh patch.
* Update and extend pkg-descr to be more in line with the descriptions
given on the official homepage and the GitLab repository.

emulators/es-de: replace deprecated USES=gettext with gettext-{runtime,tools}
USES=gettext is deprecated according to the Porter's Handbook. Replace
it with gettext-runtime and gettext-tools, both are required.
PORTREVISION isn't bumped because USES=gettext is the same as
USES=gettext-{runtime,tools}.

emulators/es-de: Update to 3.2.0
Unbundle graphics/lunasvg: was the last bundled dependency in the external
directory. We can now exclude this directory from extraction via
EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS and simplify its handling in the CMakeLists.txt
patch.
Paths in BUILD_DEPENDS are replaced with the "port notation".
Addition of find_package(RapidJSON REQUIRED) in the CMakeLists.txt patch
when unbundling devel/rapidjson was actually never needed. So it got
removed.

emulators/es-de: Simplify port
Remove unnecessary localbase from USES.
Promote unbundled utf8cpp include path to CMakeLists.txt instead of replacing
C include directive in ${WRKSRC}/es-core/utils/StringUtil.h.
Use CMake's modules for finding unbundled RapidJSON and rlottie package.
This allows to remove the INCLUDE_DIRS for both libraries (CMake already does
the right thing when using find_package).
Replace rlottie_LINK_LIBRARIES with the more proper rlottie_LIBRARIES.
