Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

Finally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

biology/linux-foldingathome needs to run as root?
(also: update to 5.0.4)

        Upon installing FoldingAtHome I ran the software from a
        user account only to find that I was stuck in a loop of
        trying to enter configuration options. Shortly thereafter
        I realized that it was trying to write to
        /usr/local/share/foldingathome, and therefore requires being
        run as root to write there unless one changes permissions
        there. Seing as this isn't installed with a startup script
        for daemonization, and running as root seems a little
        excessive for this application, should this be adapted to
        run from a user account or set up to be able to start at
        boot?

And from maintainer:

        This diff updates the port to version 5.04, and adds
        support to running as normal user using ~/.fah
        directory.

Folding@Home is a distributed computing project -- people from through out the
world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest
supercomputers in the world. Every computer makes the project closer to our
goals.
Folding@Home uses novel computational methods coupled to distributed computing,
to simulate problems thousands to millions of times more challenging than
previously achieved.
