The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a
computer client or server to another server or reference time source,
such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem.
It provides client accuracies typically within a millisecond on LANs
and up to a few tens of milliseconds on WANs relative to a primary
server synchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) via a Global
Positioning Service (GPS) receiver, for example.
Typical NTP configurations utilize multiple redundant servers and diverse
network paths, in order to achieve high accuracy and reliability.
Some configurations include cryptographic authentication to prevent
accidental or malicious protocol attacks.

Chase src r352540:
Follow up on ports r511987 (base r352304) which disabled default
mlockall() at startup. Unfortunately though the original tarball
supports this in ./configure (for Linux), to fully support disabling
of mlockall() by default requires a little extra help otherwise the
following is logged in syslog:
Cannot set RLIMIT_MEMLOCK: Operation not permitted

www/libwww: Update to 5.4.2, Fix security vulnerabilities
This a security release for libwww to take into account security advisories
CVE-2016-9063 and CVE-2017-9233.
In order to take into account current and future expat security advisories,
the expat source code was removed from the libwww tree. The makefiles were
modified so that libwww dynamically links against the system's expat library.
Patches removed were incorporated upstream.
Bump PORTREVISION of dependent ports due shlib change.

Security: e375ff3f-7fec-11e8-8088-28d244aee256
It appears as if the development branch of ntp is dead as no new
development tarballs have been relesed for ~ 17 months now. This is a
security concern.
MFH: 2018Q1
Use CONFIGURE_ENABLE instead of CONFIGURE_ON.
The current use of CONFIGURE_ON to handle refclock options allows
adding a refclock that is off by default, but doesn't allow a user
to eliminate refclocks that ntpd includes by default.
Using CONFIGURE_ENABLE instead of CONFIGURE_ON will add the proper
--disable-REFCLOCKNAME to the args when the user disables default-on
options.

Configure leap-second smearing (always).
Leap-second smearing is an experimental option that may be specified in
ntp.conf(5) to spread the effect of a leap-second over an interval as
specified by the leapsmearinterval config file statement. Recommended
values are between 7200 (2 hours) and 86400 (24 hours).
It is advised that leap-second smearing not be used for public NTP
servers (https://www.meinbergglobal.com/download/burnicki/Leap\
%20Second%20Smearing%20With%20NTP.pdf). It is also advised that NTP
clients not use a mix of NTP servers using leap-second smearing with
NTP servers not using leap-second smearing as that could cause
undefined client behaviour.

Let USES=localbase add -L${LOCALBASE}/lib to LIBS instead of LDFLAGS.
USES=localbase:ldflags can be used to set LDFLAGS. Normally LDFLAGS
appears too early on the command line causing some ports to link with
their own libraries in LOCALBASE (if installed) instead of WRKSRC.
Also make use of _USES_POST so -L${LOCALBASE}/lib is added as late as
possible after anything a port Makefile might set. Use _USES_POST
instead of .include in libedit.mk and libarchive.mk so things like
'USES=libedit localbase:ldflags' work correctly.
Fix some issues with LIBS in some ports.
Switch ports that don't support LIBS to localbase:ldflags.

Most commonly used build systems support silent builds, when they
hide actual commands executed and only show short summary line (like
"CC foo.c"). CMake and ninja enable this by default, some autotools
using ports do as well. This is unacceptable because we need complete
build logs at any time, so we now switch to verbose build logs
unconditionally. Note that this change deliberately affects ALL
builds and not only package builds on cluster, because we need to
be sure that user experiencing failure can always provide informative
build log regardless of settings and without rerunning the build.
Change summary:
- Always do verbose builds for cmake, ninja and GNU configure (the
latter includes check if --disable-silent-rules is actually supported
by the configure script; there are isolated cases when it's not true)
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
Fixup sntp.8 man page formatting. This commit is the same as r304721
in base.

net/ntp-devel: Fix untracked gettext dependency & lots more
ntp links against gettext (libintl) if it is installed on the system:
- Add an NLS OPTION to explicitly enable, disable and track libintl dependency
- Add DEBUG and THREADS OPTIONS. Keep the latter enabled by OPTIONS_DEFAULT to
preserve compatibility with existing behaviour.
- Explicitly pass OpenSSL include / library dir paths to configure
- Unsilence install command
- Enable verbose building (--disable-silent-rules)
- Use TOUCH variable instead of hardcoded command
- Add TEST_TARGET to enable test suite
- Pet portlint (*_DEPENDS order, group USE{S} sections, sort OPTIONS)

Rework r385426:
- The include/event2 directory was being created improperly due to the lack
of a pkgconfig dependency. Add it to USES.
- Remove WRKSRC from SHEBANG list.
Reported by: many
- Fix orphaned include/event2 dir (likely an upstream error that it is created)
- Fix shebang QA error when not using PERL_UTILS. This was broken in r374987.
Error: '-w' is an invalid shebang you need USES=shebangfix for 'sbin/ntptrace'
Must replace @PERL_PATH@ before install or it becomes a blank: '#! -w'
