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:
Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes (typically interactive shells). Each virtual terminal provides the functions of a DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition, several control functions from the ANSI X3.64 (ISO 6429) and ISO 2022 standards (e.g. insert/delete line and support for multiple character sets). There is a scrollback history buffer for each virtual terminal and a copy-and-paste mechanism that allows moving text regions between windows.

    Affects: users of sysutils/screen
    Author: cy@FreeBSD.org
    Reason: 
      As of sysutils/screen-4.9.0_5, the MULTUSER option is default, reverting
      to the traditional setuid-root behavior. People who wish to secure their
      screen install must terminate all screen sessions, then install screen
      without the MULTIUSER option. The option was reversed because it caused
      too much astonishment among users of screen.

    Affects: users of sysutils/screen
    Author: cy@FreeBSD.org
    Reason: 
      As of sysutils/screen-4.9.0_3, the multiuser feature is not supported
      by default. The multiuser feature requires setuid root to function.
      This creates a security risk. Some Linux distributions have had
      non-setuuid root screen for a dozen or more years. FreeBSD is following
      suit. A new MULTIUSER option has been added to enable users to install
      setuid root screen. The MULTIUSER option default is OFF.
    
      Users who wish to use the multiuser feature may,
    
      - Build screen using the MULTIUSER option, or
      - Poudriere users can use poudriere-options to enable the MULTIUSER
        option, or
      - Users can chmod the setuid bit for ${LOCALBASE}/bin/screen-4.9.0,
        making screen setuid root to enable the multiuser feature.

sysutils/screen: install error if world compiled with NO_INFO

        The program /usr/bin/install-info doesn't exist in case
        the base system has been compiled with NO_INFO. This causes
        an error during installation of sysutils/screen because one
        of screen's make files rely on this program.

        I added handling of NO_INFO (and NO_MAN by the way). I suggest
        to let screen depend on print/texinfo if the user doesn't define
        NO_INFO and /usr/bin/install-info doesn't exist.

A new option is added, called "cjkwidth [on|off]". When it
is enabled, it treats CJK ambiguous characters as full width.
This feature is very helpful for reading legacy CJK applications'
output which assume all CJK characters are full width.
This option is default off.
