devel/glib20: update to 2.90.0 (#1335)

Updates GLib to 2.90.0, required by current GNOME 51 applications. Refreshes the staged API/documentation manifest and retains MidnightBSD bootstrap, trigger, and runtime compatibility handling. The default package, a DOCS/MANPAGES/NLS-off package, and the bootstrap package all succeed. Validation: bmake makesum, patch, build, fake, package, test (NO_TEST retained), check-license, option-off package, bootstrap package, and git diff --check. portlint -C reports one existing Makefile blank-line fatal plus legacy/style warnings; the refreshed plist itself produces warnings only. ## Summary by Sourcery Update GLib to 2.90.0 and refresh its packaging metadata for current GNOME applications. Enhancements: - Update the GLib dependency to version 2.90.0 for compatibility with …

devel/glib20: update to 2.88.3 (#892)

Updates GLib to 2.88.3 from the FreeBSD ports reference, including the 2.88 packaging migration and retained MidnightBSD compatibility patches. Validation: makesum, patch, build, fake, clean package, check-license, and git diff --check. Tests remain disabled by the port. portlint reports pre-existing Makefile formatting/style findings. ## Summary by Sourcery Update the glib20 port to GLib 2.88.3 with refreshed packaging and compatibility patches. Enhancements: - Update the GLib port to version 2.88.3 and refresh its packaging metadata for the newer release. - Retain the MidnightBSD XDG configuration compatibility adjustment while updating it for the new GLib test layout. Chores: - Remove obsolete compatibility patches superseded by the GLib update. --------- …
