flowd is a small, fast and secure NetFlow collector. It offers the following
features:

    * Understands NetFlow protocol v.1, v.5, v.7 and v.9 (including IPv6 flows)
    * Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 transport of flows
    * Secure: flowd is privilege separated to limit the impact of any compromise
    * Supports filtering and tagging of flows, using a packet filter-like syntax
    * Stores recorded flow data in a compact binary format which supports
      run-time choice over which flow fields are stored
    * Ships with both Perl and Python interfaces for reading and parsing the
      on-disk record format
    * Is licensed under a liberal BSD-like license

  Reason: 
    flowd use now a fix UID/GID (id 542) instead the next free UID.
    Before updating the port use the command "pw userdel _flowd"
  
  

Convert Python ports to FLAVORS.

  Ports using USE_PYTHON=distutils are now flavored.  They will
  automatically get flavors (py27, py34, py35, py36) depending on what
  versions they support.

  There is also a USE_PYTHON=flavors for ports that do not use distutils
  but need FLAVORS to be set.  A USE_PYTHON=noflavors can be set if
  using distutils but flavors are not wanted.

  A new USE_PYTHON=optsuffix that will add PYTHON_PKGNAMESUFFIX has been
  added to cope with Python ports that did not have the Python
  PKGNAMEPREFIX but are flavored.

  USES=python now also exports a PY_FLAVOR variable that contains the

GOOGLE_CODE has gone away.

- If a port has another upstream, remove GOOGLE_CODE
- If a port only has GOOGLE_CODE mark it BROKEN

Some ports have a local mirror configured but for security reasons, it
is not considered upstream.

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.

Add support for DESTDIR part I.

This commit should largele be a NOOP as it only adds support
for DESTDIR undefined. This does allow us to start testing
ports with DESTDIR set, but this is as of yet not supported.

Although this has been extensively tested on pointyhat, this
is a very intrusive change and some cases may have been
overlooked. Please contact Gabor and me if you find any.
