Notes from UPDATING
These upgrade notes are taken from /usr/ports/UPDATING

    Affects: users of www/kiwix-tools and devel/libkiwix
    Author: olce@FreeBSD.org
    Reason: 
      Upstream released a new version (14.0.0) of kiwix-tools' dependency libkiwix
      that the latest release of kiwix-tools (unchanged at 3.7.0) does not
      support, and the devel/libkiwix port was updated to it by mistake.
    
      In order to fix the situation without reverting devel/libkiwix to 13.1.0 and
      bumping its PORTEPOCH, the new port devel/libkiwix13 has been created and
      www/kiwix-tools has been updated to depend on it rather than devel/libkiwix.
      This is expected to be temporary.
    
      As devel/libkiwix13 and devel/libkiwix conflict with each other, which
      apparently can confuse pkg (which proposes to delete www/kiwix-tools), users
      having www/kiwix-tools installed are advised to upgrade it first separately,
      e.g., by running:
    
      # pkg upgrade www/kiwix-tools

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.
