Calamares is a distro- and desktop-agnostic installer. Developed as an
installer for Linux distributions -- dozens of them -- it is modular
and highly configurable. It can be used as an installer for FreeBSD-
based distributions as well, though it needs extensive configuration
(which is not included in the port yet).

Mk/Uses: Move man to share/man for kde framework
All ports utilizing USES=kde has been tested. If there are breakage on
other parts of the tree buzz me.
Approved by: portmgr (blanket)
Mk/Uses: always use colon for build/run suffix
Most USES use a colon for build/run(/test) suffixes. Change kde.mk,
qt.mk and pyqt.mk to do the same, and update all ports using that.

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.

sysutils/calamares: update to 3.2.61, latest upstream
This bumps the port to the latest upstream. It's still not
exactly usable for any FreeBSD things, but having it around
makes it (slightly) easier to roll out a graphical FreeBSD
installer if anyone wants to do that.
sysutils/calamares: new port, GUI system installer
Calamares is a GUI-based Linux system installer (e.g. for Linux
distro's to get their ISO image installed on a computer). It can
(probably) do FreeBSD as well, although it needs some more work
in order to do the right thing for ZFS (and also the traditional
fetching-base-tarballs bits). Since it is modular and extensible,
adding the FreeBSD-specific bits can be done later. Having a
port seems like a good start (with future ports calamares-extensions
and calamares-freebsd so that a live-ISO-installer could work
with just those packages installed; potentially useful for
helloSystem, FuryBSD and others if they care to collaborate
on GUI-installer-development rather than bespoke bits).
