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:
dwl is a compact, hackable compositor for Wayland based on wlroots. It is intended to fill the same space in the Wayland world that dwm does in X11, primarily in terms of philosophy, and secondarily in terms of functionality. Like dwm, dwl is: - Easy to understand, hack on, and extend with patches - One C source file (or a very small number) configurable via config.h - Limited to 2200 SLOC to promote hackability - Tied to as few external dependencies as possible dwl is not meant to provide every feature under the sun. Instead, like dwm, it sticks to features which are necessary, simple, and straightforward to implement given the base on which it is built. Implemented default features: - Any features provided by dwm/Xlib: simple window borders, tags, keybindings, client rules, mouse move/resize. Providing a built-in status bar is an exception to this goal, to avoid dependencies on font rendering and/or drawing libraries when an external bar could work well. - Configurable multi-monitor layout support, including position and rotation - Configurable HiDPI/multi-DPI support - Idle-inhibit protocol which lets applications such as mpv disable idle monitoring - Provide information to external status bars via stdout/stdin - Urgency hints via xdg-activate protocol - Support screen lockers via ext-session-lock-v1 protocol - Various Wayland protocols - XWayland support as provided by wlroots (can be enabled in config.mk) - Zero flickering - Wayland users naturally expect "every frame is perfect" - Layer shell popups (used by Waybar) - Damage tracking provided by scenegraph API

x11-toolkits/wlroots: dedup *_DEPENDS in consumers

RUN_DEPENDS and BUILD_DEPENDS, leading to incorrectly registered

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles

Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.

This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles

It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.

Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.

There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
