Conserver is an application that allows multiple users to watch a serial console
at the same time. It can log the data, allows users to take write-access of a
console (one at a time), and has a variety of bells and whistles to accentuate
that basic functionality.
The idea is that conserver will log all your serial traffic so you can go back
and review why something crashed, look at changes (if done on the console),
or tie the console logs into a monitoring system (just watch the logfiles it
creates).
With multi-user capabilities you can work on equipment with others, mentor,
train, etc.
It also does all that client-server stuff so that, assuming you have a network
connection, you can interact with any of the equipment from home or wherever.
===> The following configuration options are available for conserver-com-8.3.0:
FREEIPMI=off: Compile in FreeIPMI support
GSSAPI=off: GSSAPI Security API support
GSSAPIONLY=off: Never prompt for a password when using GSSAPI
IPV6=on: IPv6 support
STRIPREALM=off: Strip @REALM when using GSSAPI
UDS=off: Use Unix domain sockets for client/server
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

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.

*/*: Remove redundant '-[0-9]*' from CONFLICTS_INSTALL
The conflict checks compare the patterns first against the package
names without version (as reported by "pkg query "%n"), then - if
there was no match - agsinst the full package names including the
version (as reported by "pkg query "%n-%v").

Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D3412?
In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.
Update to 8.1.16. Changes include:
- added 'replstring' substitution option - inspired by
conversation with Owen DeLong <owen@c2company.com>
- added '^Ecn' option for writing a note to the logfile - patch
by Bryan Schmersal <bschmer@yahoo.com>
- fixed leaking file descriptors when 'host' and 'uds' consoles
fail to connect - based on patch by Michael Heironimus
<michael_heironimus@archwayconcepts.com>
Also, the rc.d script now supports "reload", "reconnect",
and "reinit" keywords (they are to send HUP/USR1/USR2
respectively).
