Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on WWW: lines in pkg-descr files. This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these pkg-descr files. Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)fb16dfecae

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources. Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the port specific URL to further information. There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time. This commit implements such a proposal and moves one of the WWW: entries of each pkg-descr file into the respective port's Makefile. A heuristic attempts to identify the most relevant URL in case there is more than one WWW: entry in some pkg-descr file. URLs that are not moved into the Makefile are prefixed with "See also:" instead of "WWW:" in the pkg-descr files in order to preserve them. There are 1256 ports that had no WWW: entries in pkg-descr files. These ports will not be touched in this commit. The portlint port has been adjusted to expect a WWW entry in each port Makefile, and to flag any remaining "WWW:" lines in pkg-descr files as deprecated. Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)b7f05445c0

[NEW PORT] sysutils/ethname: boot-time (re)naming of ethernet devices by MAC An rc-script for pinning an ethernet network name to a MAC address. -- This isn't typically needed on PCIe systems, but for systems with multiple USB ethernet (ue) devices, which seem to like to come up in non-deterministic order, it is very helpful; doubly so when the system in question is a router / firewall where the network config and security concerns vary wildly from one device to the next. It could also be of use for traditional NICs (PCIe) when adding a new card to a system, for example, and ensuring that the existing, previously configured device sticks to the MAC address, and not having to worry about which ends up /dev/xxxN vs /dev/xxxM. The script inserts itself before netif, waits an adjustable delay for the expected devices to appear, and then renames them as requested by the user. All of the device configuration, pf, etc., can be written with the new names. It does not attempt to automatically handle devices added after boot. -- Usage is described in the script, but effectively: $ cat /etc/rc.conf ethname_enable="YES" ethname_foo0_mac="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:00" ethname_bar_mac="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:01" # Optionally, otherwise it'll just enumerate all ethname_*_mac vars: ethname_names="foo0 bar" PR: 212480 Submitted by: eborisch gmail come3cb88ba87
