net/boinc-client: Build packages for all BOINC projects out of the box
While power users may customize build options to suit their needs,
most common users would greatly benefit from having pre-built packages
suitable to run the widest possible set of BOINC projects available.

net/boinc-client: Add GNU/Linux graphics options; backport CPU fixes
* Add LINUXGL and LINUXGLU options for GNU/Linux-compat science apps
that require libGL/libGLU (World Community Grid, Rosetta)
* Update hostinfo_unix.cpp patch: fix a CPU vendor-string
register-clobber bug on FreeBSD, expand CPU feature detection
* Add procinfo_unix.cpp and app.cpp patches: add FreeBSD-native
process enumeration and host-wide CPU-busy detection, replacing a
non-functional /proc-based implementation, so CPU-load-based task
suspension works correctly when boinc-client runs inside a jail.

Mk/Uses: Remove certs.mk
It was a useful shorthand for the security/ca_root_nss dependency.
However, several people disagreed.
Can anybody explain why libedit.mk is there? It is also a one string
substitution. Same with libarchive.mk.

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.

Bump PORTREVISION for ports depending on the canonical version of GCC
as defined in Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk which has moved from GCC 8.3
to GCC 9.1 under most circumstances now after revision 507371.
This includes ports
- with USE_GCC=yes or USE_GCC=any,
- with USES=fortran,
- using Mk/bsd.octave.mk which in turn features USES=fortran, and
- with USES=compiler specifying openmp, nestedfct, c11, c++0x, c++11-lang,
c++11-lib, c++14-lang, c++17-lang, or gcc-c++11-lib
plus, everything INDEX-11 shows with a dependency on lang/gcc9 now.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D10845
Remove libjpeg.so.11 compatibility link that was added in r374303 to
prevent massive PORTREVISION bumps. Bump dependent ports that have not
been bumped since.
- Replace Mk/bsd.linux-apps.mk and Mk/bsd.linux-rpm.mk with
Mk/Uses/linux.mk.
- Replace USE_LINUX=yes with USES+=linux and USE_LINUX=(.*) with
USES+=linux:\1 in all ports.
- Replace USE_LINUX_APPS with USE_LINUX in all ports.
- Use INSTALL_SCRIPT instead of INSTALL_PROGRAM to install scripts in some
ports.
- When USE_LINUX_RPM is defined, simplify the way DISTFILES and EXTRACT_ONLY
are defined.
- Remove BRANDELF_DIRS and BRANDELF_FILES handling. In the very rare cases
that it is still necessary ports can run ${BRANDELF} from post-patch.
- Remove AUTOMATIC_PLIST handling. Only one port used it.
- Fix Linux MASTER_SITES.
- Replace OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT and OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS with
default versions framework.

net/boinc-client: Fix to detect virtualbox again
The virtualbox path detection code has been patched to work on FreeBSD.
The PR submission was modified to avoid hardcoding /usr/local.
PR: 188710
Submitted by: Lawrence Chen
The FreeBSD x11@ and graphics team proudly presents
a zeising, kwm production, with help from dumbbell, bdrewery:
NEW XORG ON FREEBSD 9-STABLE AND 10-STABLE
This update switches over to use the new xorg stack by default on FreeBSD 9
and 10 stable, on osversions where vt(9) is available.
It is still possible to use the old stack by specifying WITHOUT_NEW_XORG in
/etc/make.conf .
FreeBSD 8-STABLE and released versions of FreeBSD still use
the old version.
A package repository with binary packages for new xorg will
be available soon.
This patch also contains updates of libxcb and related ports, pixman, as well
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
- Update to 7.2.33 :
- Fix: Disable downloading of images in notices. It was crashing the UI.
- Fix: Properly handle the exclusive application feature from the UI.
- Fix option helper
- Change login shell for BOINC user to /bin/sh so that
'service boinc-client start' works properly
- Also install opencl_boinc.h when not using X11, otherwise
astro/boinc-* will break when not using X11 there [1]
- Bump PORTREVISION
This was not a problem for the default package for net/boinc-client
as it is built with X11 on.

Catch another install target which used LOCALBASE instead of PREFIX
PR: ports/176724 (part)
Submitted by: Andrey Simonenko <simon@comsys.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua>
Overhaul option handling:
- Only use the rc framework for boinc-client when the CLIENT option is
selected
- Always set CLIENT and X11 options when MANAGER option is selected
- Unset USER option when CLIENT option is not selected
- Create the share/boinc directory when the MANAGER or X11 option is
set instead of when the USER option is set
- Prefer negation over empty() when checking options
- Update description for the USER option
In pkg-install.in :
- Only install the CA bundle and only adjust file ownership of ~boinc
when the USER option is selected
- Only install skins when both the USER and MANAGER options are selected
While here:
- create share/pixmaps in PREFIX instead of LOCALBASE
- wrap a long line

Use the USERS/GROUPS mechanism for the boinc-client port instead of
manually creating them.
It is still possible to overrride the defaults by setting
BOINC_CLIENT_USER , BOINC_CLIENT_GROUP , and BOINC_CLIENT_HOME but that
means the entries in UIDs and GIDs have to be changed too.

BOINC servers.

Force numerous ports that fail to build with clang over to instead always
rely on gcc. The patch uses the new USE_GCC=any code in Mk/bsd.gcc.mk to
accomplish this.
The ports chosen were ports that blocked 2 or more ports from building with
clang. (There are several hundred other ports that still fail to build with
clang, even with this patch. This is merely one step along the way.)
Those interested in fixing these ports with clang, and have clang as their
default compiler, can simply set FORCE_BASE_CC_FOR_TESTING=yes.
For those who have gcc as their default compiler, this change is believed
to cause no change.
Hat: portmgr
Tested with: multiple runs on amd64-8-exp-bcm and 9-exp-clang, with various
combinations of patch/no-patch and flag settings.
Switch from libglut to freeglut and retire libglut. Libglut hasn't been
developed in years and has been dropped from the MESA 8.0 distribution.
Freeglut is a rewrite of glut and is actively developed and is used by
many linux distributions instead of libglut.
Bump all ports that directly depend on libglut because of the shlib version
change.
There are some extra items in this patch.
*) Because freeglut doesn't have the same dependancies as libglut, some ports
need extra dependencies added to USE_XORG to make them build.
*) Mark graphics/f90gl broken, f90gl depends on a header that is only shipped
with libglut.
*) Remove option for libglut/freeglut selection in games/cake, only freeglut
remains now.
*) While here fix a png related build issue games/vegastrike.

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.
