Hello!

Juan here: Debian maintainer and upstream of xwpe Borland-style IDE.

In the past weeks I became maintainer of xwpe. The previous maintainer, Dennis Payne, gave the blessing and documented it at the beginning of: https://identicalsoftware.com/xwpe/

The new repository is at: https://codeberg.org/mendezr/xwpe) and the latest release is 1.6.6.

I was looking where could still be the 20 years old version so I decided to send the update to Linux and BSD distros.
The changes that are relevant for NetBSD package definition are:

  • all nine patches/ are upstreamed (1.6.6 is a normal autotools build)- files/xwpe.desktop and files/xwpe.xpm are now obsolete (upstream nowinstalls its own .desktop, a scalable SVG icon and AppStream metainfo)

  • new deps for the modern X11 UI + embedded terminal + LSP/DAP modern compiler features: textproc/json-c, devel/libvterm01, graphics/cairo, devel/pango, x11/libXft (libX11, zlib and curses were already there)

I am not looking to take the pkgsrc package over, so I left you as MAINTAINER and I'm just providing the update, but please, let me know if any help is needed in this regard.
