2023-03-27: fontconfig2-dev-2.14.2-1 (Font configuration library)
A library for font customization and configuration.
This version is meant to coexist peacefully with the libfontconfig
provided in Apple's X11. It has its own configuration files in
%p/etc/fonts, but is also configured to use a configuration in
/opt/X11/lib/X11/fonts/local.conf, /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/local.conf
and /etc/fonts/local.conf if they exist.

fontconfig2: new version2023-03-26: iperf3-3.13-1 (Measure TCP and UDP throughput)
iperf is a tool for active measurements of the maximum achievable
bandwidth on IP networks. It supports tuning of various parameters
related to timing, protocols, and buffers. For each test it reports the
measured throughput / bitrate, loss, and other parameters.

Update provided by Chris Z2023-03-26: hwloc15-shlibs-2.9.0-1 (Portable Hardware Locality)
The Portable Hardware Locality (hwloc) software package provides a
portable abstraction (across OS, versions, architectures, ...) of
the hierarchical topology of modern architectures, including NUMA
memory nodes, sockets, shared caches, cores and simultaneous
multithreading.

hwloc: v2.9.02023-03-25: libtbb4-2017-u8-1 (Threading Building Blocks)
Threading Building Blocks (TBB) is an award-winning C++ runtime library
that abstracts the low-level threading details necessary for optimal
multi-core performance. It uses common C++ templates and coding style to
eliminate tedious threading implementation work.
TBB requires fewer lines of code to achieve parallelism than other
threading models. The applications you write are portable across platforms.
Since the library is also inherently scalable, no code maintenance is
required as more processor cores become available.

libtbb4: fix ARCH passing for test suite2023-03-25: bowtie2-2.5.1-2 (Ultrafast memory-efficient short read aligner)
An ultrafast and memory-efficient tool for aligning sequencing reads
to long reference sequences. It is particularly good at aligning reads
of about 50 up to 100s or 1,000s of characters, and particularly good
at aligning to relatively long (e.g. mammalian) genomes.
Bowtie 2 indexes the genome with an FM Index to keep its memory footprint
small: for the human genome, its memory footprint is typically
around 3.2 GB. Bowtie 2 supports gapped, local, and paired-end alignment modes.

bowtie2: remove unused dep and add useful dep2023-03-24: libgtop2.0.7-2.28.0-3 (System monitoring library)
Note: for security in suid operation, some modes only are usable on
the same OS version as where the package was compiled. If you upgrade
to a new OS X 10.x.y, you will have to 'fink rebuild %n'.

libgtop: fix FTBFS: upstream compat with newer perl2023-03-23: github-2.14.2-1 (Command line interface to Git Hub)
hub is a command line tool that wraps git in order to extend it with
extra features and commands that make working with GitHub easier.
hub is best aliased as git, so you can type 'git ' in the
shell and get all the usual hub features.
Note that the package name is 'github' instead of 'hub' since we
already have a different 'hub' package, but the executable is still
just 'hub'.

rm stray BDep (unused remnant from older version of pkg)2023-03-23: libnuspell3-shlibs-3.1.2-4 (Nunspell shared library)
Nuspell is a free and open source spell checker library and command-line
program designed for languages with rich morphology and complex word
compounding.
