[New Port] sysutils/sndy: sound switcher

Summary

[New Port] sysutils/sndy: sound switcher

sndy - is an audio switching program that allows you to redirect sound
output to any port of your computer.

The buttons in the program correspond to the init line in your
/dev/sndstat.  Pressing the button toggles the sound output with the
sysctl command hw.snd.default_unit=<X>.  Do not switch audio output
during playback of a single audio file.  The OSS sound system can only
play sound to one device at a time.  Therefore, you need to wait for the
end or completion of the previous sound file before switching.

The scroll bar can be used to change the volume level.  The volume is
changed using the mixer vol <indicator>*10 command.  That is, each digit
from 0 to 10 multiplied by 10 corresponds to a percentage of volume.

The selected pcm is only saved until you reboot.  To save the default
sound output, add hw.snd.default_unit=<number> to the system file
/etc/sysctl.conf

From the Note under https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/book/#porting-pkg-descr:

This is not a manual …

A translated user's guide might be better at or around https://github.com/Clockwork6400/sndy#readme.

I had instructed the submitter to expand pkg-descr as it did not met the length requirement. I will instruct the submitter to shorten it so it no longer reads like a manual and to translate his README.

[fuz]

Updated pkg-descr with a less verbose version as per guidance
from grahamperrin. Approval from submitter has been obtained
for this change. Submitter has added old pkg-descr to his
project README.

INSTALL_DATA instead?

[fuz]

Updated the patch to use INSTALL_DATA for the desktop file.

arm64 builds have meanwhile concluded and can be found in the same
place as the other builds.

Is approval from @grahamperrin required to proceed or is mentor approval sufficient?

Mentor approval is sufficient. You are free to commit.

This should use DISTVERSION

If you're going to hardcode a version you also need to depend on it

[diizzy]

You don't need to wait on submitter to change a line, just upload a new patch with the change.

I agree. Will fix this in the commit.

Please read up on USES=shebangfix and the meaning of ..._OLD_CMD. This indicates the name of the interpreter in the shebang line that is to be replaced with the selected tk interpreter. Therefore, we do not need to depend on it.

Guess I was a bit unclear about my intentions, does it work with all available versions as it's hardcoded by default?

Upstream has told me that any tcl version is fine.

[fuz]

Upstream has changed which commit the 0.0.4 tag refers to. Will commit after re-testing.
