- Description:
- This is XBattle by Greg Lesher, based on the original by Steve Lehar released
in 1991, and including certain enhancements, modifications, and bug fixes
suggested by a number of contributors from all over the world.
XBattle is a concurrent multi-player game which combines elements of strategy
with arcade-like action to capture a wide range of military scenarios.
The game is based on X Windows, which you must have installed to run xbattle.
Opponents play from separate displays, with commands being executed concurrently
-- the players do not take "turns", but rather they all issue their commands
simultaneously. There can be any number of players, with each player assigned
to a specific team, indicated by marker colors. The game board is a matrix
of cells (square, hexes, etc.) that can be occupied by colored troops,
with the goal of the game being to eliminate the enemy from the board by
attacking cells occupied by enemy troops. A wide variety of command line options
(and previously configured game files) provide an abundance of different
scenarios and gaming environments.
If you have never used xbattle before, read the introduction on the xbattle Web
site. To get the feel of the game, you can run the "tutorial1" and "tutorial2"
scripts supplied with the game. These start a series of small example games that
you can play around with to learn the various options available with the game.

MASTER_SITES cleanup.
- Replace ${MASTER_SITE_FOO} with FOO.
- Merge MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR into MASTER_SITES when possible. (This means 99.9%
of the time.)
- Remove occurrences of MASTER_SITE_LOCAL when no subdirectory was present and
no hint of what it should be was present.
- Fix some logic.
- And generally, make things more simple and easy to understand.
While there, add magic values to the FESTIVAL, GENTOO, GIMP, GNUPG, QT and
SAMBA macros.
Also, replace some EXTRACT_SUFX occurences with USES=tar:*.

- Release ports maintained by games@
games@ team is quite small and inactive, so ports currently assigned
to it cannot be assumed as properly maintained. To not cause confusion
by making it look otherwise, and also to allow and promote adoption
by individual maintainers, release these ports back to the pool. Note
that this does not change the fact that games@ team still takes care
of these ports to excent of its capabilities.

According to the Porter's Handbook (5.12.2.3.) default options must be added to
OPTIONS_DEFINE. This policy has been implemented only recently that's why we
have many ports violating this policy.
This patch adds the default options specified in the Porter's Handbook to
OPTIONS_DEFINE where they are being used. Ports maintained by
gnome@FreeBSD.org, kde@FreeBSD.org and x11@FreeBSD.org have been excluded.

For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports. |

Convert most of remaining ports that depend on xorg-libraries to
modular xorg.
- supply corresponding USE_XORG for all imake-using ports that need it
- USE_IMAKE no longer implies USE_XLIB in absence of USE_XORG
- retire USE_X_PREFIX which is not really used anywhere after the
above change
- a few minor nits like whitespace and SF macro
