Description:

This is a meta-port for boost libraries, depends on all of them. Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries. The emphasis is on libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library. Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages both commercial and non-commercial use. The goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the C++ Standards Committee's Library Technical Report (TR1) and will be in the new C++0x Standard now being finalized. C++0x will also include several more Boost libraries in addition to those from TR1. More Boost libraries are proposed for TR2.

devel/boost-{all,libs}: Adjust range of OSVERSION to use LLVM from ports

The reason to use LLVM from ports is that there is bug in Clang/LLVM
of base system that causes assertion failure while building
devel/boost-libs. The bug is already fixed with main, stable/14 and
stable/13 branches of src repository. So we need to use LLVM from
ports only with following ranges of OSVERSION.

1. 1500000 <= OSVERSION < 1500017
2. 1400000 <= OSVERSION < 1400509
3. 1300000 <= OSVERSION < 1303502

And commit 3b8c51bd37b0 adjusts the range as above.

But there is a pitfall about it. The assertion failure happens only if

devel/boost-all: Use clang from base for OSVERSION >= 1500017

In https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=bcd401b5a39c I committed a
fix for clang's assertion failures when building recent boost libraries.
I also bumped __FreeBSD_version to 1500017 so this can be detected from
devel/boost-all/compiled.mk.

The fix was also merged to stable/14, with __FreeBSD_version 1400509,
and stable/13, with __FreeBSD_version 1303502.

Adjust the ranges to use the default llvm port to [1500000..1500017>,
[1400000..1400509>, and [1300000..1303502>.

devel/boost-all: Adjust range to use llvm from ports

When boost was updated to 1.81.0, the problem was reported as PR
269067 that build of devel/boost-libs fails because of assertion
failure of Clang in base system. According to the comment submitted to
upstream issue tracker (*), the source of the problem is very long
standing bug of LLVM/Clang. So the bug itself is included in all of
supported branch of src repository. But the problem only happens with
main because assertion is only enabled with it. To work it around
compiled.mk was modified so llvm from ports is used instead of that of
base system when __FreeBSD_version is 1400000 or later. This is what
was done with commit 3efdfab9b59f.

And recently stable/14 branch is created in src repository. After it
is created __FreeBSD_version of the branch is bumped from 1400096 to
1400097. And the value of main is bumped from 1400096 to 1500000. So
adjust range to use llvm from ports as following.

Case 1: 1400000 <= OSVERSION < 1400097 (main before stable/14 is branched)
Case 2: OSVERSION >= 1500000 (main after stable/14 is branched)

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.

Approved by:		portmgr (tcberner)

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.

 ccache's documentation says to set CCACHE_SLOPPINESS=time_macros and

 Disabling PCH for ccache still results in an 18 second build, down from 143,
