|STAT is a set of about 30 data manipulation and analysis programs
developed by Gary Perlman at the University of California, San Diego
and at the Wang Institute. The manipulation programs are general
utilities that work with other standard programs like sort. The
analysis programs compute most widely used statistics. |STAT programs
are designed with the philosophy that individual programs should be
designed as tools that do one task well and produce output suitable
for input via pipes to |STAT and other programs. Interactive use is
supported in the command line interpreter/editor while batch files or
shell scripts provide a programming language for complex
analyses. Typical usage involves a pipeline of transformations of data
followed by input to an analysis program, summarized schematically by:
INPUT DATA | TRANSFORM | ANALYSIS | OUTPUT RESULTS

Multiple ports: reset maintainers
Maintainers for these ports have been notified on 5 separate occasions
over the course of several months about pending actions required.
We really appreciate the time and effort you put in to maintain
these ports.
If you are still interested in helping to maintain these ports just
reply to me or file a PR and I will happily assign the port to you
again.

- This is not BROKEN, it just needs manual fetching. Remove
check for PACKAGE_BUILDING so it properly sets IGNORE if
the distfile is missing
With hat: portmgr
Bento fix: convert the pre-fetch test for the existance of the
distfile (which must be manually downloaded) into one that is
compatible with bento builds. This should be transparent to
anyone installing the port. Informed maintainer.
