EPIC5 is the 5th generation of the Enhanced Programmable ircII Client.
No longer is EPIC 100% backwards compatible with ircII, but instead those
things where compatibility is undesirable have been found and fixed. No
gratuitous incompatibilities have been added, but lots of new code has been
added to make EPIC one of the best ircII clients available.
EPIC no longer shares any file names with ircII, so they should happily
co-exist.
Due to its minimalist approach it is highly recommended you use a script
with EPIC.
===> The following configuration options are available for epic5-3.0:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
PERL=off: Perl scripting language support
PYTHON=on: Python bindings or support
RUBY=off: Ruby bindings or support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
You will find EPIC to be a bit primitive without a script of some sort.

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.

irc/epic5: Remove obsolete TERMCAP option, link with libncurses alway
The TERMCAP option avoided linking with libcurses (which is symlinked to
libncurses) in order to link with libtermcap (which is also symlinked to
libncurses).
Remove the TERMCAP option completely and link directly to libncurses in
any case.
