Expect is a program that performs programmed dialogue with other
interactive programs.  It is briefly described by its man page, expect(1).

It uses pseudo-tty's to control the child processes, so it is not affected
by programs that refuse to read from stdin or pipes. (eg: passwd(1) etc).

- Move from versioned tcl/tk CATEGORIES to simple tcl and tk categories

With hat:       portmgr

Add conflict with lang/expect-devel

- Welcome X.org 7.2 \o/.
- Set X11BASE to ${LOCALBASE} for recent ${OSVERSION}.
- Bump PORTREVISION for ports intalling files in ${X11BASE}.

Let expect detect and use openpty(3), and therefore allow it to utilise
as many ptys as we support. The breakage was caused by a bogus (or
temporarily introduced) CONFIGURE_ENV.

- INSTALLS_SHLIB -> USE_LDCONFIG.
- Add PORSCOUT variable: skip recalled 5.44.* versions.

- Allow expect to utilise 256 pty's as supported by FreeBSD. The
  current code arbitrarily limits us to 64 at a time.
- Bump PORTREVISION.

Patch provided by "Cybil".

Switch to my @FreeBSD.org address.

Touch configure, because Makefile.in is patched after configure (patch-ac vs
patch-aa), which confuses configure

remove maintainership

    I haven't had the time to be a good maintainer for the lang/expect
    and devel/libstroke ports for a very long time.

    Please change maintainership to ports@ and hopefully someone
    w/more time and energy can pick up the torch.

De-pkg-comment.

Properly convert command-line arguments into UTF-8 before passing them
to TCL interpreter, othervise arguments in any encoding other than
ASCII are becoming ????, even when LANG or LC_CTYPE is defined properly.

Add support for building without X11 support    

Style police: WWW tags should either end in a file/script or TRAILING /; Fix the
later case    

Refer to the distfile with an explicit version number instead of   invariably
downloading the latest one.  This (a) unbreaks this port   until somebody
updates it to 5.33.0, and (b) prevents this port from   automatically being
broken when a new version comes out due to   checksum mismatch.    

Update to use tcl/tk 8.3.    

Change MAINTAINER from ports@FreeBSD.org to john@coastalgeology.org.    

Convert category lang to new layout.  

Correct link (libexpect532.so.2 -> libexpect532.so.1)    

Update port to 5.32.1    

Rename INSTALLS_SHLIBS to INSTALLS_SHLIB.  (There was a typo in the   previous
commit message to bsd.port.mk, which said INSTALL_SHLIBS.  Boo.)    

Final round of the INSTALLS_SHLIBS=yes conversion. Few remaining ports with  
ldconfig in PLIST need personal consideration.    

Update to version 5.31.8.
