Change Details

Calling exec() from the Makefile to pkgconf will create a chicken-and-egg problem because that dependency is only installed when the build is invoked which does not happen here. For that reason, we fully rely on pkgconf during configuration time. If we pass ${LOCALBASE} to configure upfront we won't be able to obtain the static dependencies required (pkgconf --static --libs {libname}). Moreover, Subversion does neither use libc++ nor any ICU library. PR: 279430 Approved by: jrm (mentor), otis (mentor)

Since the switch to CMake for textproc/utf8proc (207abfe1369d1ef1d89fae73b1091b37b9060ef7) the static library is not being built anymore. This means that the static build of Subversion has been broken since 2022-01. For the past two years only one has complained (PR 279430) and the maintainer of textproc/utf8proc (PR 280429) cannot easily provide an archive with CMake anymore. Therefore, removing the STATIC port option for good. PR: 279430 Approved by: jrm (mentor), otis (mentor), diizzy
