- Description:
- This is a port of btoa version 5.2, written by Paul Rutter, Joe
Orost & Stefan Parmark. btoa converts 4 binary characters to 5
ascii ones, causing a 25% expansion. (btoa is thus more efficient
than uuencode, which causes a 33% expansion.) Spaces will not be
used, which should make it safe to send files over e-mail or Usenet
without risking that blanks become tabs. Each resulting row of
text has a single-byte checksum for error detection. A diagnosis
file provides a list of errors found this way, which could then be
used to retransmit only the failing lines.
Patch 1 is an unofficial, non-platform-specific patch to version
5.2 of btoa. It allows for automatic decoding of btoa files if
the program is invoked as "atob" (no -a argument necessary). It
also outfits the Makefile to do clean and install.

MASTER_SITES cleanup.
- Replace ${MASTER_SITE_FOO} with FOO.
- Merge MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR into MASTER_SITES when possible. (This means 99.9%
of the time.)
- Remove occurrences of MASTER_SITE_LOCAL when no subdirectory was present and
no hint of what it should be was present.
- Fix some logic.
- And generally, make things more simple and easy to understand.
While there, add magic values to the FESTIVAL, GENTOO, GIMP, GNUPG, QT and
SAMBA macros.
Also, replace some EXTRACT_SUFX occurences with USES=tar:*.

For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports. |
