LightDM is a display manager that:
* Is cross-desktop - supports different desktops
* Supports different display technologies
* Is lightweight - low memory usage and fast performance
* Has a comprehensive test suite
===> The following configuration options are available for lightdm-1.33.1:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
NLS=on: Native Language Support
VAPI=on: Build VALA API files
====> Qt toolkit support: you can only select none or one of them
QT5=off: Qt 5 toolkit support
QT6=off: Qt 6 toolkit support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
For LightDM to function, it requires one of the available greeters to be
installed, for instance x11/lightdm-gtk-greeter or x11/slick-greeter .
If you enable the lock-memory option in lightdm.conf (e.g. due to security
concerns), you will also need to increase the maximum amount of memory FreeBSD
will allow a daemon to lock into main memory using mlock(2).
To increase this limit, run the following commands:
# sed -i '' -e 's/memorylocked=128M/memorylocked=256M/' /etc/login.conf
# cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf

x11/lightdm: improve description of necessary greeters
There are fewer LightDM greeters in the ports tree than
the pkg-message suggests. List them both. Do not bump
PORTREVISION because this isn't worth making people
rebuild things.

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.

x11/{lightdm,sddm}: add CONFLICTS
Both lightdm and sddm install the DBus file for DisplayManager,

It doesn't really make sense to install multiple DMs on one
machine, but for completeness in the ports framework, mark

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.

x11/lightdm: Update to 1.30.0, fix crash and change default config
This update addresses a crash in lightdm, related to the way the
user environment for the lightdm process is setup in src/process.c.
The configuration option in lightdm.conf for locked memory is now
honoured - the default configuration has been updated to disable this,
and pkg-message has been updated to reflect this change.

x11/lightdm: Update to 1.22.0
- Update PAM file to include system defaults
- Set PATH to default from /etc/login.conf
- Don't pass-through empty PATH from lightdm to X11 (breaks runtime)
x11/lightdm: Fix locale selection
- Allow locale selection on login screen. First, lightdm must be patched
to correctly detect utf8 locales, which have a UTF-8 suffix on FreeBSD
instead of utf8 like on Linux systems. Secondly, we have to use locale
codes in the language menuitem as FreeBSD doesn't have support for
locale naming (missing _NL_IDENTIFICATION_LANGUAGE implementation).
- Use @sample for lightdm-gtk-greeter config file to prevent it from
being overwritten when the package is reinstalled / upgraded.

x11/lightdm: Improve rc script to use daemon(8)
This fixes an issue noticed when sysutils/bsdstats was installed and
enabled at runtime in /etc/rc.conf, but for whatever reason was failing
to send the updated statistics. Upon failing, the lightdm process would
receive a SIGHUP, causing it to stop seconds after the login screen was
displayed (before the user even had a chance to login).
x11/lightdm: Make Xsession check for more system-wide config files

User-specific versions are still also found in $HOME/ with a "." prefix.
