Kiwix is an offline reader for web content archived in ZIM format. It is
particularly tailored towards Wikipedia and other wikis.
The Kiwix tools are a collection of Kiwix-related command line tools:
- kiwix-manage: Manage XML based library of ZIM files.
- kiwix-search: Full text search in ZIM files.
- kiwix-serve: HTTP daemon serving ZIM files.
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
www/kiwix-tools: Fetch from official site; Revise WWW and COMMENT
Fetch from the official site instead of Github.
While here, revise the description.

devel/kiwix-tools: Depend on devel/libkiwix13
This will allow updating devel/libkiwix to 14.0.0 again without breaking
the build of devel/kiwix-tools, whose latest released version at time of
this writing requires libkiwix 13.
This is a maintainer update (olce.freebsd.ports@certner.fr).

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.
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
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.
