kitty: add version 0.49.0
Take over maintenance of a local copy of the SBo kitty package, built from the official upstream release tarballs on GitHub instead of the SBo maintainer's self-hosted mirror. Changes against the SBo script: - VERSION 0.38.1 -> 0.49.0 - DOWNLOAD points at github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty releases - MAINTAINER/EMAIL set to danix - drop librsync from REQUIRES: upstream 0.49 no longer links it, the rsync kitten uses its own implementation on top of libxxhash, which ships in Slackware - drop google-go-lang from REQUIRES: go is a base system package on -current The build itself is unchanged; setup.py still accepts linux-package, --libdir-name and --ignore-compiler-warnings, and the tarball still ships prebuilt man pages and html docs.

+kitty (fast, featureful, GPU-based terminal emulator)
+
+kitty is a terminal emulator for X11 and Wayland [1], which offloads
+the rendering to the GPU [2] and supports modern terminal features. It
+also supports tiling multiple terminal windows without using an extra
+program like screen or tmux.
+
+[1] For Wayland support, it may be necessary to add the following
+ line to ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf:
+ linux_display_server wayland
+
+[2] Requires hardware-accelerated OpenGL support.
