Description

Since https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/ac7eb8e931c616bdddcdb5733c86fb9067619d45, many packages are no longer binary distributable. For example, in a recent cmake build [1]:

"cmake" is not distributable because its dependency "xattr" has license "unknown" which is not known to be distributable

I guess the dependency graph is: cmake -> curl -> libidn2 -> libtool -> xattr. (Any systematic way to track down the actual breakage?)

As xattr is only used to strip extended attributes, I suggest to add it to license_noconflict:

diff --git a/devel/libtool/Portfile b/devel/libtool/Portfile
index ddf67d94a1..bf2f7bb234 100644

With that cmake is binary distributable again.
