This is c-ares, an asynchronous resolver library.  It is intended for
applications which need to perform DNS queries without blocking, or
need to perform multiple DNS queries in parallel.  The primary
examples of such applications are servers which communicate with
multiple clients and programs with graphical user interfaces.

- Update to 1.8.0

- Update to 1.7.5
- Add additional MASTER_SITES

- Adpot port per request of maintainer

Approved by:    roam@

- Remove WITH_FBSD10_FIX, is no longer needed

Fix build on FreeBSD 10.

The vast majority of pkg-descr files had the following format when they
had both lines:

Author: ...
WWW: ....

So standardize on that, and move them to the end of the file when necessary.

Also fix some more whitespace, and remove more "signature tags" of varying
forms, like -- name, etc.

s/AUTHOR/Author/

A few other various formatting issues

Update to c-ares-1.7.4 and fix a bashism in the configure script.

Update to c-ares-1.7.2 and declare the MIT license.

Update to c-ares 1.7.1 and redo the config patch to also support
IPv6 nameserver addresses.

Update to c-ares-1.7.0.  In the process:
- actually pass the options-enabled arguments to the configure script!
- add the "hide symbols" configurable knob, though I've no idea why
  anybody would want to turn that off... except maybe for debugging
- install the "acountry", "adig", and "ahost" programs, since they do
  come in useful every now and then
- refresh the patches and add descriptions at the top

Make jobs unsafe

Update to c-ares-1.6.0.

- Update download location, update WWW

Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script.
Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the
configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET
instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning
and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.

To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.

To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.

Changes to Mk/*:
 - Add runtime detection magic in bsd.port.mk

- Set --mandir and --infodir in CONFIGURE_ARGS if the configure script
  supports them.  This is determined by running ``configure --help'' in
  do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
  which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
  Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
  PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
  subdirectory detection.

Update to c-ares 1.3.2.
Add the optional ares_config_info patch from Unreal IRCD, on by default;
this is a step closer to building Unreal IRCD with the port version of
c-ares.

Build and install the shared c-ares library too, not just the static one.
This should help the build of libcurl on amd64, what with -fPIC and such.

Note that dns/ares and dns/c-ares are in conflict.

Add c-ares 1.3.1, Daniel Stenberg's adopted version of the ares library
for asynchronous DNS resolving.  It was repo-copied from the dns/ares port.
