- Update to 2.78. PR: ports/120028 Submitted by: Felippe de Meirelles Motta <lippemail@gmail.com> Reworked by: Ulrich Spoerlein <uspoerlein@gmail.com> (maintainer) Approved by: itetcu (mentor, implicit)159ab3967c
Add reliance on USE_PERL5_BUILD; pod2man is required for building the documentation. PR: ports/117176 Submitted by: Ulrich Spoerlein <uspoerlein@gmail.com>daedc0a9cd
Remove always-false/true conditions based on OSVERSION 500000cc82ac7af1
First steps in a big migration:
Move net/rrdtool to databases/rrdtool.
It's an itch which needs to be scratched: net/rrdtool came from
net/mrtg, which was a good location for it. net/mrtg has later
been moved to net-mgmt/mrtg. net/rrdtool is "Round Robin Database
Tools", therefor it's better if it moves to databases/rrdtool.
Same with net/rrdtool10.

BROKEN: Incomplete pkg-plist Approved by: portmgr (implicit)a7beaf6eff
Remove the FreeBSD KEYWORD from all rc.d scripts where it appears. We have not checked for this KEYWORD for a long time now, so this is a complete noop, and thus no PORTREVISION bump. Removing it at this point is mostly for pedantic reasons, and partly to avoid perpetuating this anachronism by copy and paste to future scripts.c49d1a3273

symon is a is a lightweight system monitor that measures cpu, memory, pf, interface and disk statistics every 5 seconds. It sends this data on to symux for further processing. symon has been designed to inflict minimal performance and security impact -- it can be run as nobody on the system it monitors. symux is a non-priviledged daemon that listens to incoming symon traffic. symux can write the incoming symon streams into rrd files. Clients interested in monitoring machine state can also log into symux and receive data as ascii as it arrives. symon2web is a php script that can show the data stored in the rrd files.
