Keychain helps you securely manage your SSH and GPG private keys. As a frontend
to ssh-agent and gpg-agent, it maintains a single, long-running agent per user
and host so you only have to enter your passphrases once per reboot.
By writing the agent's environment to per-host files, Keychain makes it
effortless for new shells and background cron jobs to securely access your
cached keys.

security/keychain: Small updates
Point at new GH location (old redirects to new), modernize pkg-descr,
and adopt my personal preferences (the port has been around for 21
years, we can probably stop guarding against its name changing.)
Note that keychain 3.x, which has been out for a couple months, is a
Python rewrite. It needs no third-party modules, but it's definitely
a change from the "one portable shell script" ethos I recall from
decades ago. I'm working on that update, and from what I can tell it
should require basically no adjustment on the end-user side of things,
so I'm unlikely to create a keychain298 port (happy to take input on
that!).
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.

Fix CONFLICTS entries of multiple ports
There have been lots of missing CONFLICTS_INSTALL entries, either
because conflicting ports were added without updating existing ports,
due to name changes of generated packages, due to mis-understanding
the format and semantics of the conflicts entries, or just due to
typoes in package names.
This patch is the result of a comparison of all files contained in
the official packages with each other. This comparison was based on
packages built with default options and may therefore have missed
further conflicts with optionally installed files.
Where possible, version numbers in conflicts entries have been
generalized, some times taking advantage of the fact that a port

security/keychain: switch to USE_GITHUB
The distfile is no longer found at:
http://www.funtoo.org/archive/keychain/keychain-2.8.5.tar.bz2
As mentioned in WWW, the distfile can be found on GitHub.
> The latest release of Keychain can be found on the keychain GitHub release
page.
While here, switch WWW to https and changed to nice-look URL.

Revert r386285, removing exists() check on RUN_DEPENDS, for now.
The ports framework properly handles this but the tools that are used do not.
Portmaster and Portupgrade both incorrectly install openssh-portable even if
ssh-agent is installed already. Poudriere does not install or add a dependency
on it, but it does build the dependency.
At least the portmaster and portupgrade issues must be resolved first. They
will also fix any other port installing unneeded dependencies and allow
many of the exists() checks to come out of the tree.
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:*.

Don't use exists() for the ssh dependency. The RUN_DEPENDS line already
handles checking if these files exist. Removing this fixes poudriere
already rebuilding this port when there is no base sshd and only a port
version.

- Change the name of the file in which keychain stores the environment
settings of the running ssh-agent(1) process from ~/.ssh-agent to
~/.ssh-agent-`hostname -s`. This is to allow users with NFS-mounted home
directories to use keychain on multiple machines simultaneously. - Bump
