I've updated the CDE ports/packages in FreeBSD. The changes are:

x11/cde is now x11/cde-24.

We have a new x11/cde metaport that is merely a pointer to x11/cde-24, 
until I'm comfortable to replace cde 2.4.0 with 2.5.0.

A new x11/cde-25 port/package installs CDE 2.5.0. There is an option (when 
building it by hand) to allow it to install side-by-side with x11/cde-24. 
I've been using this myself prior to commit to allow me to kick the tires, 
so to speak, while being able to easily fall back to 2.4.0 if need be.

I've added a new x11/cde-devel port. I'm cloning the cdedesktopenv-code git 
repo on sourceforge onto github which allows me to use the github plumbing 
in the FreeBSD ports infrastructure. The cde-devel port will be available 
for those adventurous users who want to use the bleeding edge CDE. I 
typically try to update my -devel ports once a week. Failing that no longer 
than a month.

All these changes will become FreeBSD binary packages in 2022Q4.

Hopefully people will find these additions of some benefit.
