This should have been part of the Qt 6.8.1 update, but upstream never
published distfiles for 6.8.1 for some reason, so we shipped the lastest
compatible version 6.8.0.2 instead. Version 6.8.1.1 is a small bugfix
release on top of what would have been 6.8.1 release.
MFH: 2025Q1
Introduce new arguments, `build` and `stage`, to control the location
and timing of ELF feature flag modifications.
Files listed in ELF_FEATURES are interpreted as relative to:
- ${BUILD_WRKSRC} when the `build` argument is supplied
- ${STAGEDIR} when the `stage` argument is supplied
Operating on binaries under ${STAGEDIR} is useful when binaries are
modified after the build phase. Conversely, working with binaries under
${BUILD_WRKSRC} is preferable when test targets are run against the
build tree.

We (Qt upstream) have released Qt 6.8.1 today. As a patch release,
Qt 6.8.1 does not introduce new features but contains more than 550 bug
fixes, security updates, and other improvements on top of Qt 6.8.0
release. See more information about the most important changes and bug
fixes from the Qt 6.8.1 release note.

We (kde@) skipped shipping Qt 6.8.0 due to waiting for a compatible
version of PyQt to be released, but here are the announcements and
release notes from Qt 6.8.0.

PySide6: Update to 6.8.0.2
PySide6 and its related components have been updated alongside the Qt
release for compatibility. Older versions will not build with Qt 6.8.x.
Announcement: https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-for-python-release-6.8
PyQt6: Update to 6.8.0
This release also introduces x11-toolkits/py-qt6-graphs, python bindings
for the Qt Graphs module. As with PySide6, older versions of PyQt6 will
not build with Qt 6.8.x.
Support tools like py-sip and py-qtbuilder have also been updated to their
latest versions.

The following features have been added or changed:
- Instead of USE_JAVA use USES=java. This defaults to
USES=java:build,run if NO_BUILD is undefined. Else it defaults to
USES=java:run
- Instead of USE_ANT=yes use USES=java:ant which also implies
USES=java:build
- Instead of JAVA_BUILD=yes use USES=java:build. Does not imply run or
extract
- Instead of JAVA_EXTRACT=yes use USES=java:extract does not imply
build or run
- Instead of JAVA_RUN=yes use USES=java:run does not imply extract or
build
- Instead of USE_JAVA=<version> use USES=java and JAVA_VERSION=<version>

Same as BSDMAKE variable. It is needed by some ports.
Some ports needed fixes:
- devel/rcs57: Regenerate configure with newer autoconf so it can deal
with MAKE set to an absolute path. While here fix issues with
(un)escaping double quotes. The warnings about this were in
WRKSRC/src/conf.err.
- lang/gnu-cobol: Patch configure.ac so the MAKE environment variable
can contain an absolute path, and define MAKE before it is used in
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. Remove post-patch patching of configure. It appears
to have been fixed upstream.
- math/unuran: Remove post-patch, fixed upstream.
- net-mgmt/kismet: Fix post-patch.

When building from source, the ports tree is by default a parent
directory of WRKDIR. When ports try to use git to find the git commit
they are built from, they'll some times find the port's git repository
and produce bogus metadata. Set GIT_CEILING_DIRS in WRK_ENV to ensure
that git does not escape WRK_ENV trying to look for a git repository
that doesn't exist.
This doesn't affect Poudriere builds as for these, WRKDIR is by default
not a subdirectory of the ports tree, and neither is git installed in
builder jails unless explicitly needed. As a result, bugs of this kind
tend to go unnoticed by maintainers, but do affect source builders.

This release has experimental Wayland support, but not all components
have been ported, YMMV. From upstream announcement:
Important Notice: Please be aware that the Wayland support in Xfce
4.20 is experimental. It is recommended for advanced users only,
as you may encounter bugs and experience incomplete functionality.
Proceed with caution!
Highlight of this commit:
- Adding new port x11/libxfce4windowing
- Changing some WWW links to XFCE project gitlab
- Cleaned up Makefiles
- Remove unneeded intltool dependencies
- Added WAYLAND option where applicable, enabled by default

- Decouple ASDF initialization from devel/cl-asdf by creating a
dedicated port: devel/freebsd-cl-asdf-init.
- Convert devel/cl-asdf/bsd.cl-asdf.mk to USES=cl.
- Add devel/cl-asdf-sbcl
- Update ASDF configuration:
- Prefer newer ASDF versions, but only if the fasl is available.
- Replace license text with an SPDX license identifier.
- Simplify and clarify documentation.
- Remove the assumption that ${PREFIX} is /usr/local.
- Use uiop:getenv instead of a custom getenv function.
- Remove asdf:output-files customization to resolve output
translation issues.
- Improve output translations:
- Prevent writing fasls to ${PREFIX}/lib/common-lisp/ when the
corresponding fasl port is not installed.
- Fall back to ASDF's default caching mechanism of writing fasl to
a cache under ${HOME} when users install a Common Lisp port
without its fasl port.
- Improve interoperability with Common Lisp code from sources outside
of ports, such as Quicklisp.
- Add support for Clozure Common Lisp (CCL)

Tuesday, 26 November 2024. Today KDE releases a bugfix update to KDE Plasma 6,
versioned 6.2.4.
Plasma 6.2 was released in October 2024 with many feature refinements and new
modules to complete the desktop experience.
This release adds three weeks' worth of new translations and fixes from KDE's
contributors.
Announcement: https://kde.org/announcements/changelogs/plasma/6/6.2.3-6.2.4/
The version is now
kmodpackagename-<kmodpackageversion>.<osversion>_<revision>,<epoch>
This is necessary to make sure that the same packages built on a newer
version of FreeBSD on a given branch is considered as an upgrade of the
default provided one.
In the current model of support, all packages are built on the lowest
supported version of a given branch, which means right now all packages
are built on 14.1, this results as since 14.2 has been released and up
to the time 14.1 is EOLed we do not provide working binary packages for
kernel modules and related for 14.2.
With this we will be able to provide a dedicated repo built against 14.2
that will be usable by users and pkg upgrade will simply update to the
right version.

Move x11-toolkits/py-qt[56]-chart to x11-toolkits/py-qt[56]-charts to be
consistent with the names of their C++ counterparts.
Qt has always pluralized the Charts module, but PyQt didn't pluralize it
until Qt6. With the upcomming addition of the PyQt Graphs module, keeping
this singular would be even more awkwark.
While here:
Add all pyqt5 components except webengine to the devel/py-qt5 metaport
to be consistent with the devel/py-qt6 metaport.

Defining this variable in an individual port Makefile sets the
environment for building and, more importantly, running the target
defined by CMAKE_TESTING_TARGET with SETENV instead of SETENVI.
Certain tests may require a running X or Wayland session to function
and SETENVI discards important environment variables like DISPLAY and
XAUTHORITY that cause these tests to fail or segfault.
