This firefox release includes a not-yet-released snapshot of dav1d,
which is not fully API-compatible with the released version. Switch
to the bundled dav1d/aom until dav1d released have caught up.
* The value of PKGVERSION described in comment is different from real
one. And it is difficult to explain it briefly. So replace it with
brief explanation what the variable means.

Add devel version of cython. Apart from that 3.x cython branch is
where all the development goes on, 0.29.x only getting backported
bugfixes, this is currently the only version which supports python
3.11. Because of that, wire USE_PYTHON=cython to cython-devel for
python >= 3.11 in Uses/python.mk as well and limit supported python
versions with <= 3.10 for cython.

MozJPEG (graphics/mozjpeg) is a patched libjpeg-turbo (graphics/jpeg-turbo). It
is also a valid JPEG implementation.
from README.md:
MozJPEG is compatible with the libjpeg API and ABI. It is intended to be a
drop-in replacement for libjpeg. MozJPEG is a strict superset of libjpeg-turbo's
functionality. All MozJPEG's improvements can be disabled at run time, and in
that case it behaves exactly like libjpeg-turbo.

The pipeline
readelf -d "${dep_file}" | grep -q SONAME
can fail because grep -q closes the output early resulting sigpipe being
sent to readelf. Other possible solutions are to turn off pipefail for
the file or remove the -q grep argument.
Credit to ashish@ for the detective work to discover the root cause of
this.

KDE's contributors. The bugfixes are typically small but important and
include:
* Keyboardlayout: Fix missing Esperanto flag icon in the menu.
* Plasma Networkmanager: OpenVPN: fix logic in auth dialog.
* On FreeBSD do not try to execute powerdevil.backlighthelper.syspath action.

Some KDE Gear applications set a different version for the
shared library than the rest of them. Those ports manually
overwrote the variable used in the plist sub.
Make them use a kde.mk defined value, so that only one place
needs to be changed on updates.

Over 120 individual programs plus dozens of programmer libraries and

fba040e62b broke makesum for ports
that conditionally override MASTER_SITES in a make(makesum)
block to simplify maintenance like lang/python-doc-html or
devel/freebsd-sysroot where it is impractical to just statically
list all possible MASTER_SITES. It also broke USES=linux ports
that do the same for DISTFILES.
The breakage with DISTFILES was fixed in
50d2c82e01 by explicitly passing
it to the sub-make fetch. Do the same with MASTER_SITES and
PATCH_SITES so we do not have to workaround this with .MAKEFLAGS
or .export.

Git sources from `Cargo.lock` are added to `CARGO_CRATES` through
the normal mechanism of `make cargo-crates` by the porter. They
are used to populate `MASTER_SITES`, `DISTFILES` with static
git-archive(1) tarballs a la `USE_GITHUB`, `USE_GITLAB`. In the
configure phase we generate `[patch]` sections in the config file
which will cause `cargo update` to auto-update `Cargo.lock` to point
to the appropriate extraction directories.
Normally `cargo update` would connect to the network to update all
Git sources but since rust-1.55.0 our cargo has been patched to
skip this when `CARGO_FREEBSD_PORTS_SKIP_GIT_UPDATE` is set in the
environment.
This replaces the old `CARGO_USE_GITHUB`, `CARGO_USE_GITLAB` hacks
where this was done by editing all `Cargo.toml` with sed(1) calls.
Additionally, we try to automatically infer the individiual crate
sub-directories inside the Git sources based on `package.name` in
`Cargo.toml` to remove the need for `CARGO_GIT_SUBDIR`.
USES=cargo also now sets `WRKSRC_crate_$name` for each crate to
point to the crate extraction directories.

We have recommended against USE_GCC=any for a while, and as of more
recently it was completely equivalent to USE_GCC=yes.
With (ancient versions of) GCC hardly available in the base system
of FreeBSD systems at this point, there's unlikely to be a use case
to reintroduce it, so remove the few remaining traces.

25 years ago today, Matthias Ettrich sent an email to the
de.comp.os.linux.misc newsgroup explaining a project he was working
on. The latest and direct result of that email (plus a quarter of a
century of relentless experimentation, development and innovation)
has just landed in KDE’s repositories.
This time around, Plasma renews its looks and, not only do you get a
new wallpaper, but also a gust of fresh air from an updated theme:
Breeze - Blue Ocean. The new Breeze theme makes KDE apps and tools
not only more attractive, but also easier to use both on the desktop
and your phone and tablet.
Of course, looks are not the only you can expect from Plasma 25AE:
extra speed, increased reliability and new features have also found
their way into the app launcher, the software manager, the Wayland
implementation, and most other Plasma tools and utilities.
Read on to find out all the details that make the new Plasma 25AE so
deserving of a celebration [1]
