Patch for the port tree 2024/Q3, add loaders-update v1.0.1

New version.
Comment 2 Robert Clausecker freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-10-26 14:05:36 UTC 
Patch looks reasonable.

 - please use PORTVERSION instead of DISTVERSION
 - please mark obsolete patches as obsolete as you upload a new patch
 - please extend pkg-descr to at least three lines; the text should
   give an explanation of the features and advantages of the port.

Please check these issues and resubmit.

Sorry, but I never used DISTVERSION. I always used PORTVERSION.
The previous patch has been tagged obsolete.
I will improve the pkg-descr and make a new patch soon.

Thanks.

Sorry, it's the other way round.  I messed up writing the comment.  You should use DISTVERSION over PORTVERSION unless DISTVERSION doesn't yield correct results (see § 5.2.2 Porter's Handbook).  I'll fix that on commit.

Add loaders-update to the 2024Q3 ports branch

This is a new patch that adresses the issues you mentioned.

- DISTVERSION instead of PORTVERSION
- pkg-descr is 3 lines long.

    sysutils/loaders-update: update bootcode / loaders

    This utility is a tool designed to keep the FreeBSD bootcodes and loaders
    up-to-date.  It's useful because the FreeBSD upgrade process doesn't update
    them.  It verifies if they are up to date and updates them if desired.

Thanks for your patience and also your work for improving the Makefile.
I suppose that next time, I should use the head ports tree to make a patch. Recorded.
