            Bug ID: 296205
           Summary: devel/xwpe: update to 1.6.6
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: juan.mendezr@proton.me

xwpe has a new upstream home and a 1.6.6 release. The old identicalsoftware.com
site (and its FTP) has been dead for years; the project now lives at
https://codeberg.org/mendezr/xwpe and I am the one keeping it alive. I am not
after the port -- just handing over the update, so I left MAINTAINER as
ports@FreeBSD.org.

The old port carried files/patch-* and post-patch REINPLACE hacks for the
1990s K&R / hand-rolled-Makefile build. 1.6.6 is a normal autotools build, so
all of that is gone (the four files/patch-* are deleted in the patch). New
dependencies for the modern UI and features: cairo + pango + Xft (X11, UTF-8),
devel/libvterm (embedded terminal) and devel/json-c (LSP/DAP clients).

Tested in a 14-amd64 VM with the deps installed from pkg: it builds,
"make stage-qa" is clean and "make check-plist" reports no issues. pkg-plist
is the output of "make makeplist".

Release: https://codeberg.org/mendezr/xwpe/releases/tag/v1.6.6
Patch attached (git diff against devel/xwpe).
