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.

Description:
HAL is a hardware abstraction layer whose goal is to merge information from various sources such that desktop applications can locate and use hardware devices. The point is that the exact set of information to merge varies by device and bus type. WWW: http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/hal

Add devd to the list of hald's rc.d dependencies.  Note: we cannot remove
usbd yet because 6.X and 5.X still have it, and if it is desired, then
it should be started BEFORE hald.

Add an option which makes hald use the device name rather than the
volume label as default mountpoint. Using the UTF-8 volume label as
mountpoint can be problematic with legacy locales.

* Add a new utility function, hf_str_no_slashes(), that converts '/' into '_'
  for purposes of UDI constructions.  UDI path components cannot contain
  embedded slashes, and a trailing slash will cause hald to crash. [1]
* Ensure that UDIs of ATA and SCSI devices are unique. [2]
* Do not re-probe disks that are managed by hald-addon-storage since that
  will result in a double-probe and data corruption.  In particular, this
  fixes a problem with CD unmounting when ATAPICAM is enabled. [3]

Update to snapshot 20061102.

* The volume probing helper can take up to a minute to run the isoinfo
  command against data DVDs, so bump the timeout up to 60 seconds.

* Fix a spurious warning when running lshal

Add two new properties to SCSI block devices.  The first is
block.freebsd.cam_path which is a bus,target,lun path to a SCSI device.
This is needed by tools such as cdrecord, and by adding a private freebsd
property, it is much easier to get apps like nautilus-cd-burner working.

The second property is block.freebsd.atapi_cam_device.  This property is
actually attached to ATAPI CAM devices, and denotes the CAM block device
associated with this ATAPI block device.  This may be useful for programs
that can only operate with CAM-compliant devices.

Finally, update the volume probing code so that blank discs are treated as
volumes.  This is sort of crude.  We basically say a disc is blank is it
is a disc and contains no data and no audio.

With all of these changes, plus a minor change to nautilus-cd-burner, n-c-b
now works again on FreeBSD.

Presenting GNOME 2.16.1 for FreeBSD.  This release represents a massive
amount of work by the FreeBSD GNOME Team and our testers.

On top of the usual GNOME update, we have taken this opportunity to move
GNOME from X11BASE to LOCALBASE.  This means roughly 600 ports NOT part of
the GNOME Desktop also need to be changed.  The bulk of the move was carried
out by ahze, mezz, and pav, but it would not have been possible without
cooperation from the FreeBSD KDE team who worked with us to make sure
GNOME and KDE can still coexist happily.  We would also like to send a
shout out to kris and pointyhat for putting up with multiple test runs
until we got something that was solid.

Back to GNOME 2.16.  This release brings a huge amount of new functionality
to FreeBSD.  The standard release notes can be read at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/ .  But on top of what you will read there,
