Over 120 individual programs plus dozens of programmer libraries and
feature plugins are released simultaneously as part of KDE Gear.
Today they all get new bugfix source releases with updated translations.
Full changelog:
https://kde.org/announcements/changelogs/gear/21.12.2/
Update the CONFLICTS definitions of ports in the following categories:
- accessibility
- archivers
- audio
- benchmarks
- biology
- cad
- chinese
- comms
- converters
An attempt has been made to use generic conflicts patterns that do not
have to be updated whenever a new version of a conflicting port is
added to the ports system.
There is a misunderstanding that the port being built/installed has to
be omitted from the conflicts pattern. This is not true - the port
being built is implicitly non-conflicting due to logic in bsd.port.mk.

wl-gammarelay-rs is a simple program that provides DBus interface to
control display temperature and brightness under Wayland without
flickering. Like wl-gammarelay, but written in Rust, runs on a single
thread, has three times less SLOC and uses DBus (for simplicity).

What's this?
This is a set of git repositories based on the last public
commits available for Qt 5.15 branches with a curated collection
of patches on top to ensure open source products can be used
comfortably until users transition to their Qt 6-based ports.
Which patches does it include?
This collection of patches includes patches that fix at least
one of the following:
* Security issues
* Crashes
* Functional defects
We only include patches that have been approved upstream in the
Qt project. If a patch cannot be merged upstream for technical
reasons (e.g. the class no longer exists), it can also be
merged.
The patches to merge will be decided based on their relevance
towards Open Source products and their viability.

The conflict checks compare the patterns first against the package
names without version (as reported by "pkg query "%n"), then - if
there was no match - agsinst the full package names including the
version (as reported by "pkg query "%n-%v").
Many CONFLICTS definitions used patterns like "bash-[0-9]*" to filter
for the bash package in any version. But that pattern is functionally
identical with just "bash".
