REDUCE Portable Standard Lisp (PSL)
REDUCE is an interactive system for general algebraic computations of
interest to mathematicians, scientists and engineers.
PSL was the original implementation of Standard Lisp, but now contains
many more facilities. It is quite efficient in its use of both space and
time, and has been optimized for algebraic computation. All PSL versions
of REDUCE are distributed with sufficient PSL support to run on the given
computing system. PSL is supported on many architectures and is an ideal
system for those wanting to run REDUCE as a stand-alone system. The
principal developer of PSL before it became Open Source was the Konrad
Zuse Center, Berlin (ZIB).
It is often used as an algebraic calculator for problems that are possible
to do by hand. However, REDUCE is designed to support calculations that
are not feasible by hand.
===> The following configuration options are available for reduce-psl-20240812:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Templates/config.(guess|sub): Update to 2026-05-17
Also remove our local changes that replaced x86_64 with amd64 because
these complicate porting by forcing port maintainers to replace x86_64
with amd64 in configure scripts.
Additional changes:
bsd.port.mk: Apply S/amd64/x86_64/ to CONFIGURE_TARGET. This is not
required to run configure but some ports need to use this in pkg-plist.
comms/qico, news/fidogate:
CONFIGURE_TARGET shouldn't contain "--build". Just remove it altogether
because the default value is fine.

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.

math/reduce{-psl}: Update to 20211019 snapshot
Back to the pool: I may not be able to maintain this properly in the future.

math/reduce{,-psl}: Drop unused variables
WRKSRC is set to the default value, CONFIGURE_ARGS is overwritten
later and is not needed.
