The Ini file manager consists of a package, Config, which can read or write
informations from various configuration files known as "ini" files because
they have often the ".ini" extension. They are text files which look like
the following:
; Comment line
[Section 1]
a_string = abcd # a comment here...
a_number = +123.456 ; another comment
[Section 2]
a_string = efgh
For more examples in this format, just search files with the .ini extension
on a Windows-based computer.
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.

cleanup: Expire gcc6-aux consumers on 2022-09-30
This entails:
- devel/adacurses/Makefile
- misc/ini_file_manager/Makefile
- ports-mgmt/synth/Makefile
The DEPRECATED is set via USES=ada
Return the ports mistakenly reset to ports@ in r433856 to John Marino.
The mistake was completely on my part, I somehow connected the dots the
wrong way in my head.
The only exceptions (for now) are archivers/zstd and ports-mgmt/synth
which were already picked up by new volunteers in the mean time.
Change Ada Framework foundation from gcc5-aux to gcc6-aux
GCC 6.1 was released this week. The Ada Framework in FreeBSD ports has
been based on GCC 5.3 GNAT although GCC 6.x has been supported for awhile
via the ADA_DEFAULT option in make.conf.
Now that GCC 6 has been officially released, switch to it by default.
People can maintain the old foundation by putting "ADA_DEFAULT=5" in
/etc/make.conf.
Libraries built by one GNAT are unusable by another, so almost every Ada
port has been bumped as a result. Noticable exceptions are dns/ironsides
which fails to build on gcc6 (thus USES=ada:5 is set) and cad/ghdl which
needs additional testing as it may require gcc5 on FreeBSD (DragonFly
uses the LLVM backend only).
