libnet 1.1.2.1_2,1 net =77

A C library for creating IP packets
Maintained by: shipley@dis.org
Port Added: unknown

Libnet is a high-level API (toolkit) allowing the application programmer to
construct and inject network packets. It provides a portable and simplified
interface for low-level network packet shaping, handling and injection.

Libnet hides much of the tedium of packet creation from the application
programmer such as multiplexing, buffer management, arcane packet header
information, byte-ordering, OS-dependent issues, and much more.

Libnet features portable packet creation interfaces at the IP layer
and link layer, as well as a host of supplementary and complementary
functionality.

Using libnet, quick and simple packet assembly applications can be whipped up
with little effort.  With a bit more time, more complex programs can be written
(Traceroute and ping were easily rewritten using libnet and libpcap).

Libnet is distrubuted under the BSD license.

patch net/libnet's configure to not do anymore checks of bpf device

        when building net/libnet, bpf has been there since FreeBSD
        3.X, so do not do anymore checks. this is useful when
        building in jails as they don't have bpf. this is somewhat
        like #113893

SIZEify (maintainer timeout)

Whoa there, boy, that's a mighty big commit y'all have there...

Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".

For ports-in-waiting:

        USE_LIBTOOL=YES         ->      USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
        USE_AUTOCONF=YES        ->      USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
        USE_AUTOMAKE=YES        ->      USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14

Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.
