KDE today announces the release of KDE Frameworks 5.80.0.
KDE Frameworks are 83 addon libraries to Qt which provide a wide variety of
commonly needed functionality in mature, peer reviewed and well tested
libraries with friendly licensing terms. For an introduction see the KDE
Frameworks release announcement.
This release is part of a series of planned monthly releases making
improvements available to developers in a quick and predictable manner.

The main big change is the switch of the package extension to .pkg
This is done so we can change compression format without having to
modify the tools each time to adapt to the new extension
While here adapt the ports tree to the new .pkg extension and prepare
the pkg-devel ports to swicth the package compression format to zstd
in FreeBSD 14 in a month to give time to upgrade to a version which
have the bootstrap knowing about .pkg.
Changes from 1.16.99.2 to 1.16.99.3
- lua update to 5.4.2
- pkg repo accept now all supported formats mixed without config
- pkg now default on creating .pkg files with backward compatible symlinks
- backward compatible symlinks are now an option
- make the default comprpession format a config option
- set the default compression level for zstd to 19
- make the default compression level a config option
- Update libucl to latest version
It contains only `lib` and gets replaced in so many wrong places it is
a bad idea to have it.

* PyQt5: update to 5.15.3
This is a minor feature and bug-fix release. There are corresponding releases of the other PyQt5-related packages.
- Added the missing QImage.setAlphaChannel().
- Support for the QtNetworkAuth library has been moved to a separate PyQtNetworkAuth package.
- Wheels no longer bundle the corresponding Qt libraries and instead automatically install them from an external wheel.
* QScintilla2: update to 2.12.0
This adds support for Qt6 and removes support for Qt4.
- Change the new distname (again)i due to a conflict
- Use the new sip-build system
* devel/py-qtbuilder: update to 1.9.0
* devel/py-sip: fix flavor for sip-distinfo

20.12.3 Releases
Over 120 individual programs plus dozens of programmer libraries and feature
plugins are released simultaneously as part of KDE’s release service.
Its aim is to simplify the use of MPI in the ports Makefile.
It makes it easier to provide an option for the user to choose between MPICH and
OpenMPI when applicable.
Note: mpich2 and openmpi3 are not handled, because they will be deprecated.

Usage:
USES=kodi[:noautoplist]
Notes:
- Addonname should match PORTNAME or you will need to set KODI_ADDON
- pkg-plist is autogenerated (use USES=kodi:noautoplist to avoid this)
- essential dependencies are added automatically

Escape module names according to the GOPROXY protocol [1].
"To avoid ambiguity when serving from case-insensitive file systems,
the $module and $version elements are case-encoded by replacing every
uppercase letter with an exclamation mark followed by the corresponding
lower-case letter."

Thanks to antoine@ for figuring out that ${REINPLACE_CMD} does not
handle '\t' in all supported versions -- so replacing the tabs in
the script kept the tabs, but called /usr/bin/ca and /usr/bin/sor
instead. Switched to indenting with spaces instead, so and only
strip leading spaces at that, so the scripts can be slightly
easier to indent / layout. Add comment pointing out how to
easily read the shellscript among all the minifying-magic.
danfe@ pointed to a naming mix-up; because the variables were
used consistently, this had no effect but a weirdly-named temporary
file in ${WRKSRC}. Swapped the names the right way around.
Bump PORTREVISION on qt5-core again to force another round of
rebuilds.

Qt5 packages *together* manage a header file qconfig-modules.h which
`#includes` other headers. A given Qt5 package may get a line in there,
or it might not: that depends on package settings.
On installing a package, add the line (if needed), on deinstall, remove
the line (if it was there). There's a tricky case, too: upgrading
a package that *had* a line, but no longer has one. That behaves like
deinstall. Previously we used @postexec and @postunexec lines, but
these were fragile in their own special way. See the linked PRs for
examples -- or tcberner's comment that his qconfig-modules.h file
*was* a screenful, and is now much shorter (and alphabetical, too!)
An additional complication comes from needing to update qtchooser,
*if* it is installed and *if* the package needs it. There was another
set of @postexec lines for that.
Migrate all the update logic to a shell script (there already was one
for deinstall, now make it do triple-duty). From the template file,
`pkg-change.in`, we generate a pkg-install and a pkg-deinstall
script that does the right thing.

KDE has its own GitLab instance. This behaves slightly different
from other GitLab -- there's not really a "GL_ACCOUNT" involved,
although the repositories are filed under various categories
that behave like accounts do on GitLab.com.
Some -- not many -- ports of KDE software pick up unreleased
software, or software in-between releases. Those tend to use
the GitHub mirror. That mirror should not be considered a good
source for the software; it's better to stick close to the real source.
With KDE_INVENT it is immediately clear that a port comes from KDE
sources, but not released work. It is a shortcut for setting GL_
values for site, account (category) etc. While there's only a handful
of ports now that would need it (and we would prefer to **not**
package unreleased software) the "signal value" is a good one.

The different versions of ImageMagick in the ports tree all conflict with
each other and some ports can depend on either of them so it's a perfect
candidate for the default-versions framework.

Newer Qt releases depend on the build tools and qmake from that release,
but the existing way of specifying that (e.g. USE_QT=buildtools_build)
could pick up the *old* Qt version's tools and qmake. Never a problem
in poudriere, which builds cleanly, but it keeps tripping up other
tools. Replace the existing definitions for the dependencies with
versioned dependencies, so that the right version of tools is built
and used for the rest of the Qt stack.

Some of our projects release on their own timescale and some get released
en-masse. The 20.12.2 bundle of projects was released today with dozens of
bugfixes and will be available through app stores and distros soon. See the
20.12.2 releases page for details.
Some of the fixes in today’s bugfix releases include:
* Ark no longer crashes when closing the window while loading a TAR archive
* Dolphin calculates the folder size on FUSE and network file systems correctly now
* Konsole no longer crashes when exiting all tabs at the same time
* Dictionaries can be added in Kiten’s config dialog
* Umbrello doesn’t crash anymore if exiting when a widget in a diagram is selected

runtimes or GCC at runtime are not required.
Introduce an optional argument for USE_GCC that indicates GCC is
only required at build time.
Examples for the new syntax are USE_GCC=yes:build, USE_GCC=9:build,
or USE_GCC=11+:build.
