Description

Build cross platform desktop apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

It's easier than you think.

If you can build a website, you can build a desktop app. Electron is a framework for creating native applications with web technologies like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It takes care of the hard parts so you can focus on the core of your application.

*: bump PORTREVISION for the textproc/libxml2 2.15 shared library change (#848)

`textproc/libxml2` 2.15 changed SONAME from `libxml2.so.2` to `libxml2.so.16` **and** removed ELF symbol versioning entirely — the new library defines no `LIBXML2_*` versions at all. Consumers built against the old library were never rebuilt, so they still record a dependency on `libxml2.so.2` plus version requirements nothing can satisfy, and fail at load time: ``` ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.2: version LIBXML2_2.4.30 required by /usr/local/lib/libevdocument3.so.4 not defined ``` ### Scope `Tools/scripts/bump_revision.pl -f -l textproc/libxml2` — **436 Makefiles**: 323 revisions incremented, 113 gained a `PORTREVISION` line. The diff touches nothing but `PORTREVISION` lines (verified: `git diff -U0` shows no other changed line), and spot-checked ports still …

devel/electron40: make the port buildable on MidnightBSD (#684)

`devel/electron40` has never been build-ported: it carried **no `midnightbsd` patches at all**. #671 fixed its fetch, which only got it as far as *starting* a build — configure then failed immediately on the first Python platform check. This applies the same set of changes that make #672/#682's `devel/electron41` build. ## MidnightBSD portability (6 patches) Only Python is affected. C and C++ are carried by the base compiler defining `__FreeBSD__` alongside `__MidnightBSD__`, and GN reports `host_os=freebsd` via `OS_FREEBSD`. | File | Failure | |---|---| | `build/config/linux/pkg-config.py` | early-returned on any platform not matching linux/openbsd/freebsd, so **every** `pkg_config` lookup silently produced empty results | …

devel/electron40: fix fetch on clean builders (#671)

`devel/electron40` has never fetched successfully on a machine without a pre-populated `Distfiles` directory. Magus reports fetch failures on both 4.0/amd64 and 4.1/amd64, and the failure reproduces locally. ## Three separate defects **1. `pre-fetch` ordering.** `electron-fetch-node-modules` untars the Electron source tarball to read `package.json`/`yarn.lock`, but `pre-fetch` runs *before* `do-fetch`, so the tarball does not exist yet. It only appeared to work where the distfile happened to already be cached. Magus log: ``` ===> Prefetching node modules (offline cache) tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open '/magus/distfiles/electron/electron-electron-v40.9.2_GH0.tar.gz' ``` Fixed with a new `electron-fetch-source` target that fetches the tarball …

*/*: bump PORTREVISION after multimedia/openh264 update to 2.6.0

openh264 2.6.0 changed its shared library version from libopenh264.so.6 to libopenh264.so.8, so every port that links against it must be rebuilt. Bump PORTREVISION on the direct consumers. www/ungoogled-chromium is not listed because it was updated to 149.0.7827.200 in the same batch and is already built against the new library.
