I started running short on disk space for the non-production FreshPorts hosts. This time, I have decided to ask for donations. See my recent blog post which points to my Patreon account.

Description:
FUSE driver for HFS+ based on NetBSD's kernel driver with modifications. This driver is read-only and cannot write to or damage the target filesystem in any way. hfsfuse also includes two standalone tools, hfsdump and hfstar, which can be used in an HFS+ volume without FUSE.

filesystems/hfsfuse: upgrade to 0.289

Most notable enhancements:

Adds a new tool hfstar to convert HFS+ volumes directly to tar and other archive
file formats.
Adds an hfsfuse mount option to treat symlinks as regular files, in order to
view their extended attributes on systems that don't support xattrs on symlinks.
Fixes a memory leak when listing xattrs.
Substantially improved performance for directory listing.
Improved compatibility with upstream NetBSD kernel builds.
Adds an AUTHORS file to release builds and improves the top-level COPYING
notice.
Other minor improvements and bug fixes.

filesystems: add new category for file systems and related utilities

The filesystems category houses file systems and file system utilities.
It is added mainly to turn the sysutils/fusefs-* pseudo-category into
a proper one, but is also useful for the sundry of other file systems
related ports found in the tree.

Ports that seem like they belong there are moved to the new category.
Two ports, sysutils/fusefs-funionfs and sysutils/fusefs-fusepak are
not moved as they currently don't fetch and don't have TIMESTAMP set
in their distinfo, but that is required to be able to push a rename
of the port by the pre-receive hook.
