Hello ports@,

I was searching for a comics reader able to handle cbz/cbr files.  In
ports we have comix which is old, unmaintained and I personally dislike
it.  There is a fork of it, mcomix, which I prefer, but it's
unmaintained and written in python2, so I don't think is suitable for a
submission.  Then I found this one, YACReader, which is really nice and
maintained :)

$ pkg_info yacreader
Information for inst:yacreader-9.7.1

comics reader

Description:

image file tyes such as rar, zip, cbr, cbz, pdf, 7z.  It also provides
library managements features via the YACReaderLibrary application and
the possibility to synchronize the chapters with an iOs device.

I haven't tested the built in server, but the reader and the library
works fine.  There is a known bug that causes a crash when messing with
the settings if the library is empty, I reported it upstream but it
seems to be already fixed[0].  I rolled my own do-install because I had
troubles with qmake, and from a quick look also audio/mumble does this.

YACReader also needs libunarr, a compression library.  I had to disable
LTO there, because it would break the build.

OKs, comments, improvements to DESCR and/or COMMENT really appreciated :)

Cheers,


Omar Polo
