Patch to remove HID option fernape: maintainer-approval? (daniel)

Description O. Hartmann 2021-11-11 10:23:23 UTC 
Trying to compile port sysutils/lcdproc with option HID enabled, results in an error:

[...]
===>   lcdproc-0.5.9 depends on shared library: libhid.so - not found
Error a dependency refers to a non existing origin: /usr/ports/devel/libhid in LIB_DEPENDS
Errors with dependencies.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /usr/ports/sysutils/lcdproc
*** Error code 1

Port devel/libhid is not existent anymore in the ports tree and has gone a while ago due to an so far unresolved dependency on eol'ed Python 2.X with no replacement.

Patch to remove HID option

Last release is from 2017. I think it is best to remove the HID option.
Patch proposed.

I've been meaning to start using a commit based version because even though the last release was made in 2017, there is still a lot of active development done on master.  The maintainer, however, has put incredibly high standards on what he considers a release and won't even push minor revisions.  I will work on that later, but for now the patch should be good enough.  Thanks Fernando!

Looks like they are in the process of changing maintainers, but that has been going on for months: https://github.com/lcdproc/lcdproc/issues/160
