./devel/physfs, Library providing abstract access to various archives

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 3.0.2, Package name: physfs-3.0.2, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

PhysicsFS is a library to provide abstract access to various
archives. It is intended for use in video games, and the design
was somewhat inspired by Quake 3's file subsystem. The programmer
defines a "write directory" on the physical filesystem. No file
writing done through the PhysicsFS API can leave that write directory,
for security. For example, an embedded scripting language cannot
write outside of this path if it uses PhysFS for all of its I/O,
which means that untrusted scripts can run more safely. Symbolic
links can be disabled as well, for added safety. For file reading,
the programmer lists directories and archives that form a "search
path". Once the search path is defined, it becomes a single,
transparent hierarchical filesystem. This makes for easy access to
ZIP files in the same way as you access a file directly on the
disk, and it makes it easy to ship a new archive that will override
a previous archive on a per-file basis. Finally, PhysicsFS gives
you platform-abstracted means to determine if CD-ROMs are available,
the user's home directory, where in the real filesystem your program
is running, etc.

Log message:
all: migrate homepages from http to https

pkglint -r --network --only "migrate"

As a side-effect of migrating the homepages, pkglint also fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines. These and the new homepages have been
checked manually.

Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden).  All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.

Log message:
Bump all packages that depend on curses.bui* or terminfo.bui* since they
might incur ncurses dependencies on some platforms, and ncurses just bumped
its shlib.
Some packages were bumped twice now, sorry for that.
