- Description:
- GNU/Linux port of the FAR Manager v2 (http://farmanager.com/) which also
works on macOS and *BSD systems. Short for File and ARchive Manager, it
is one of the most prominent Norton Commander clones, or implementations
of the classic, orthodox two-panel file manager idea.
Plugins that currently work: NetRocks (SFTP/SCP/FTP/FTPS/SMB/NFS/WebDAV),
colorer, multiarc, tmppanel, align, autowrap, drawline, editcase,
SimpleIndent, Python (optional scripting support).

misc/far2l: update the port to version 2.6.4 (aka second chance)
- Drop no longer applicable and hopefully no longer needed ARM64
intrinsic patches as __attribute__((__target__("+crypto"))) now
apparently works as intended
- Add somewhat hackish SetIcon() call to the GUI initialization
routine so users can see the icon in the window title and while
alt-tabbing through running programs
- Disable WSL-specific clipboard support code and do not install
related Windows-only scripts
- Colorer had been rewritten to use libxml2 instead of Xerces-C

misc/far2l: update Far2L to version 2.6.1 (on the edge) + hotfix
Apparently, regardless of the search method, when LibArchive is
installed from ports, it would be picked over the base version,
so put `libarchive' on the USES list unconditionally, to avoid
unregistered dependency when building in an unclean environment.
Prefer find_package() vs. pkg_search_module() because the former
prints explicit "found" status message with the library path and
version, if available, which makes more informative build logs.

misc/far2l: update Far-2-Linux port to version 2.5.3 (sign of mistrust)
- Drop needless dependency on `devel/libfmt' which is not actually used,
but was pulled for a quite bizarre reason: "sometimes libstd requires
linking to libfmt, sometimes not, if libfmt [found] let's link to it",
and prevent its accidental pick up if it's installed on user's system
- Revert to `find_package(LibArchive)' which had been recently replaced
with pkgconf(1)-backed in version 2.5.1: this helps CMake to find the
base system's library again; use it to handle RAR archives while here
- Amend the list of file suffixes (extensions) which look like archives
- Purge endian-related patch, this code now compiles cleanly on PowerPC

misc/far2l: update the port to version 2.5.2 (color it up)
Drop no longer needed BUILD_DEPENDS, but as a result of M4 -> Perl

misc/far2l: update the port to version 2.5.0 (yet another release)
- Move `libarchive' from global USES list to SMB where it's pulled
explicitly; otherwise the program's happy with base system's one:
Found LibArchive: /usr/lib/libarchive.so (found version "3.5.1")
- Switch to GTK+2-based wxWidgets: it's noticeably faster and does
not pull heavy and useless (for this particular program) WebKit
- Augment the port description while here, particularly, remove no
longer relevant "alpha version" warning

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on

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.

misc/far2l: update to the latest tagged snapshot (v2021-12-04_alpha)
wxWidgets-based graphical backend is now factored out as a separate
module. Once we get subpackages, it should be packaged separately,
so the main port would not have to pull this heavy dependency which
could be useful in pure console environments (e.g. on servers).

Add a port of FAR v2 (file and archive manager) to Unix-like systems.
It's still in the early stages of development, so the ride is a bit
bumpy at times, but it had reached the stage when it's usable as one's
every-day file manager, so give it more exposure.
