SOCKS servers are a form of proxy that are commonly used
in firewalled LAN environments to allow access between networks,
and often to the Internet.
The problem is that most applications don't know how to gain
access through SOCKS servers.
This means that network based applications
that don't understand SOCKS are very limited in networks they can reach.
An example of this is simple 'telnet'.
If you're on a network firewalled from the internet
with a SOCKS server for outside access,
telnet can't use this server and thus can't telnet out to the Internet.
tsocks' role is to allow these non SOCKS aware applications
(e.g telnet, ssh, ftp etc) to use SOCKS without any modification.
It does this by intercepting the
calls that applications make to establish network connections
and negotating them through a SOCKS server as necessary.
===> The following configuration options are available for tsocks-1.8.b5_10:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
EXAMPLES=on: Build and/or install examples
HOSTNAMES=on: Enable DNS lookups
MUTE=off: Disable all error messages
OLDMETHOD=off: Do not use RTLD_NEXT parameter to dlsym
SOCKSDNS=off: Intercept DNS requests and attempt to force them to use TCP
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
*/*: Simply future removal of GNU_CONFIGURE_MANPREFIX
Simplify the future removal of GNU_CONFIGURE_MANPREFIX after the
manprefix migration is complete. The current placement of
GNU_CONFIGURE_MANPREFIX will not result in consecutive blank lines or
comments when lines containing GNU_CONFIGURE_MANPREFIX are removed in
batches.

net/tsocks: Fix erroneous substitution
When patching the wrapper script for /usr to ${PREFIX} a part in a sed
statement gets substituted that should be escaped. Adjust sed statement
in a way that it doesn't break after patching ${PREFIX}.
While here:
- move a REINPLACE_CMD operation to a pre-existing patch file
- pacify portclippy
- reformat with portfmt

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

tsocks(8) suggests the the following line (twice):
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/tsocks/libtsocks.so
This is wrong, because the library is installed under regular path,
without the `tsocks' subdirectory.
Fix the manpage accordingly.

- Install inspectsocks and validateconf which are mentioned in the manpage
- Add license
- Use SUB_FILES for pkg-message
- Use DISTVERSION instead of PORTVERSION
- Recreate patch files to satisfy portlint
- Reformat pkg-message to what the PHB (section 8.5) defines as a good format
- Bump PORTREVISION
- Take maintainership
Change DEBUG option to MUTE which does the contrarya
This controls whether tsocks can display error message or not, and is not
related to debugging support (not stripping binaries, compiling with -g...)
