- Description:
- /*********************/
boxes draws any /* boxes draws any */
kind of boxes ===> /* kind of boxes */
around your text! /* around your text! */
/*********************/
The boxes command is a text filter which can draw ASCII art boxes around
its input text. These boxes may also be removed, even if they have
been badly damaged by editing of the text inside. Since boxes may be
open on any side, boxes can also be used to create regional comments in
any programming language. With the help of an editor macro or mapping,
damaged boxes can easily be repaired.

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.

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.

Convert USE_BISON to USES= bison
It brings bison as a build dependency in case it is set the following way:
USES= bison or USES= bison:build
it brings bison as a run dependency in case it is set the following way:
USES= bison:run
it brings bison both as a run and build dependency in case it the set the
following way:
USES= bison:both

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. |
