Daemontools is a small set of /very/ useful utilities, from Dan
Bernstein.  They are mainly used for controlling processes, and
maintaining logfiles.

  Affects: users of sysutils/daemontools

  Author: roam@FreeBSD.org

  Reason: 
    If you were experiencing build problems on NFS when running daemontools's
    run-time testsuite, turn off the new TESTS option in the configure screen.
    On a related note, svscan can now send its error messages to multilog
    instead of readproctitle; see the etc/rc.d/svscan.sh startup script for
    more information on the svscan_* configurable variables.
  
  

As per http://cr.yp.to/distributors.html, effective 2008-08-05,
remove RESTRICTED on these ports - they are free to roam wild.

Add a knob to disable the run-time testsuite, e.g. when building with
a NFS-mounted work directory (prompted by PR 115100).
Add support for logging through multilog instead of readproctitle for
the main svscan process and document the startup script variables
(loosely based on PR 111749).

Remove support for OSVERSION < 5

Add the sigq12 patch, which allows the svc utility to tell supervise to
send SIGQUIT, SIGUSR1, or SIGUSR2 to the daemon process.
OPTIONS'ify - all but the STARTUP_SCRIPT variable, which is a string,
not a flag.
Appease portlint partially - unquote the RESTRICTED message.
Bump PORTREVISION.

Requested by:   "Brent B. Powers" <bbp2006@columbia.edu> (the sigq12 patch)

RESTRICTED is intended here instead of NO_PACKAGE

Remove the FreeBSD KEYWORD from all rc.d scripts where it appears.
We have not checked for this KEYWORD for a long time now, so this
is a complete noop, and thus no PORTREVISION bump. Removing it at
this point is mostly for pedantic reasons, and partly to avoid
perpetuating this anachronism by copy and paste to future scripts.

Wihle I'm here, add a STARTUP_SCRIPT knob to specify a different name for
the etc/rc.d/svscan.sh script, e.g. allowing a name like 000.svscan.sh.

Fix shutdown on older systems: avoid find's '-depth n' primary.

Reported by:    Robin Breathe <robin@isometry.net>

Make the startup script also work on older versions of FreeBSD which
lack the daemon(8) utility.

- make this script work with the New World Order in /etc/rc.d/localpkg,
  where the config files may have been loaded already and our load_rc_config
  invocation may do nothing: thus, we need to honor any previously set value
  of svscan_enable;
- for some reason svscan_stop_post() does not like the IFS-like vars set by
  rc.subr and localpkg; use find/xargs instead of having the shell parse its
  own output;
- dequote COMMENT;
- fix the daemon(8)-ization by moving 2>&1 to its proper place, so that the
  errors from svscan are actually picked up by readproctitle, as explained
  in <20040630175050.GD979@straylight.m.ringlet.net>;
- move the 'Starting svscan' message to its proper place, so that the PATH
  set by env(1) affects svscan, not the echo command :)

Oops, I forgot to add "print stop message".

o portlint clean. [1]
o print start message. [1]
o daemon(8)'ify. [2]
o bump PORTREVISION accordingly.

Remove pkg-comment files in my ports.

Install the sample startup script directly to etc/rc.d/, instead of
putting it into the examples directory, where next to nobody found it.

Install Gerritt Pape's manual pages unless WITHOUT_MAN is defined.   Properly
remove the sample svscan.sh script at deinstall time.    

Tweak the startup script so that it is *really* a FreeBSD startup   script; that
is, add 'start-stop' argument processing and   the ability to actually stop the
script.   Bump PORTREVISION to indicate a functionality change - or rather,   to
indicate a change that actually makes this a FreeBSD port..    

Update to 0.76.   Assume maintainership.    

Almost revert a change made in daemontools-0.70's supervise, where   the
one-second sleep between invocations was moved to after the actual   invocation.
 This sleep could be interrupted by a SIGCHLD in the case   of a failing
service, and the service could be restarted way more than   the documented
once-per-second.  Move the sleep back before the fork(),   just don't sleep
before the very first fork, so the service starts faster.    

Put the NO_PACKAGE strings in double quotes to the escaped single  quote  
becomes just a single quote instead \'.    

Convert category sysutils to new layout.  

Add the ftp version of the MASTER_SITE, since it is available.    

Add a sample rc file for svscan startup, in partial fulfillment of the   PR. 
I'll leave the creation of the directory, whatever it may be, to   the user.
