Nessus is a security scanner. That is, it's a program which will scan a
given network and will seek for vulnerabilities which could be exploited
by some remote intruder.
The Nessus Project was originally started by Renaud Deraison
(deraison@worldnet.fr). Many people contributed in many ways to the
project, and the Nessus core team is now made up of Alexis de Bernis
(alexisb@mygale.org), who is the Java specialist, Noam Rathaus
(dolittle@isrealmail.com) who is in charge of the Nessus client for
Windows, and Renaud Deraison who is still here and who is the project
leader.

Mark Nessus ports deprecated. Nessus became proprietary closed-source
software many years ago and the ports are now outdated. A good alternative
is OpenVAS which started as a fork of the open-source Nessus.

- Display a stage-qa warning when ports use PREFIX/var instead of /var
- Add --localstatedir=/var to _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS (like --mandir) but not
when CONFIGURE_ARGS already sets it. (GNU configure scripts set it to
PREFIX/var when PREFIX != /usr.)
- Add --localstatedir="${PREFIX}/var" to CONFIGURE_ARGS in some ports so
they aren't affected by this change (for now at least). This commit is
meant to ensure that new ports don't make the same mistake.
- games/acm: the configure script in this port is very old; instead of
patching it more, just replace GNU_CONFIGURE with HAS_CONFIGURE.
- irc/charybdis: it already used /var but adding --localstatedir=/var
changed the behaviour of the configure script; adjust the port to this.

* Upgrade checksums. Quote from the developer: "I did a quick "re-release" for
minor issues that I don't felt were justifying a 2.0.6."
* Bump PORTREVISION.
