- Update to 2.4
- Grab maintainership

Feature safe:   yes

Bounce PORTREVISION for gettext-related ports.  Have fun, ya'll.

Drop maintainership, as I do not use this port anymore.

- Use correct default serial device on 8.x

- Remove conditional checks relevant only on FreeBSD 5.x and older

Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.

The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

Make /dev/cuad0 the default serial port in FreeBSD 6 and newer.

Drop the script to choose serial port and make the link from /dev/modem
(I assume people do not need or want it anymore), set the port directly
instead (and let people override with a make switch if they want).
Users can change the default port in the configuration anyway.

Don't remove (empty) locale directoryes, satisfy pointyhat.

Fix pkg-plist according to pointyhat.
Disable home-rolled gettext.
Add WITHOUT_NLS for disabling internationalization.

Clean up handling of locale directories at deinstall-time:

* Don't remove "system directories" (which were created by BSD.*.dist)
* Silently try to remove locale directories which we might have created

Don't remove all empty locale directories, only the ones we (might have)
created.

SIZEify (maintainer timeout)

Update to 2.1.

Project moved. Update WWW URL.

Clear moonlight beckons.
Requiem mors pacem pkg-comment,
And be calm ports tree.

E Nomini Patri, E Fili, E Spiritu Sancti.

Correct WWW URL.

Rejecting new distfile with the same filename due to large and messy
diff, by using alternative master sites (at least for a while).

I'm trying to make the author roll a new tarball.

PR:             38823

Patch configure instead of configure.in & aclocal.m4. Drop USE_AUTOCONF,
to avoid auto* trouble people have had with this port.

Use sed instead of Perl for patching in Makefile.

Make /dev/cuaa0 default port when doing batch builds, as we have no idea
whether /dev/modem is there.

Unbreak: Bento builds should have no problems with minicom now.

BROKEN: configure fails

Add missing locale files/dirs to pkg-plist (blush..).

Unbreak build for users that has autoconf >= 2.52 installed.

Explicitly specify /var/spool/lock as a locking directory, so that configure
script will not pick up a wrong one (e.g. samba's /var/lock).

Update to version 2.00.0.   Unforbid because known vulnerabilities have been
fixed.   Take over maintainership.    

Mark FORBIDDEN; this port allows a local exploit yielding uid uucp    

Deal with semi-bogus error reports from Bento.    

The previous commit - use the 4.4BSD spelling of TIOCMGET and TIOCMSET   rather
than the obsolete TIOCMODG and TIOCMOD, was brought to you by the   letters B,
D, and E.    

Better detecting of modem status lines.   Use the 4.4BSD spelling of TIOCMGET
and TIOCMSET rather than the obsolete   TIOCMODG and TIOCMOD.    

Fix "DISTFILES".    

Convert category comms to new layout.  

Use _PATH_UUCPLOCK from path.h rather than /var/spool/uucp.    

Oops, this WRKSRC *was* necessary.  Change ${PKGNAME} to ${DISTNAME} instead  
of taking it out.  My apologies.    

Eliminate WRKSRC=${WRKDIR}/${PKGNAME} lines, as these will break when  
PORTREVISION or PORTEPOCH are defined.    

Update md5 checksum. Unfortunately there is no previous version on  
MASTER_SITE_BACKUP, so it is impossible to check what was changed.    

Revert to rev 1.8 -- which breaks this port again.   I don't know exactly what
changed in the distfile.  To generate the new   checksum I did ``make distclean
makesum''.  So I don't have the old distfiles   around to check.  I did verify
that the new distfiles does compile and the   resulting binary runs.  But I
guess that is not suffient today.    

Distfile changed -- update checksum.    

Upgrade to version 1.83.1.   1.83.1 is supose to have more sane logfile control.
