Fcron is a scheduler. It aims at replacing Vixie Cron, so it
implements most of its functionalities. But contrary to Vixie Cron,
fcron does not need your system to be up 7 days a week, 24 hours a
day: it also works well with systems which are not running neither
all the time nor regularly (contrary to anacrontab). To do so, fcron
allows you to use the standard mode in which you tell it to execute
one command at a given date and hour and to make it run a command
according to its time of execution, which is normally the same as
system uptime.
This is the stable release.
===> The following configuration options are available for fcron-3.2.1_2:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
EXAMPLES=on: Build and/or install examples
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
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.

When there is a do-install target, do not use a post-install target, do
everything at once. Sometime, rename post-install into a options helper
target.
I did not fix ports that were such a mess that I could not figure out
what they really wanted to do. I also did not change ports that had
some version of an auto-plist code in post-install, for the same reason.

Cleanup DIST* variables.
When appropriate:
- Try to use DISTVERSION{SUF,PRE}FIX
- Replace PORTNAME-PORTVERSION by DISTNAME
- Convert MASTER_SITES to use macros
- Other light cleanup

Remove indefinite articles and trailing periods from COMMENT, plus
minor COMMENT typos and surrounding whitespace fixes. A few Makefiles
where not included as they contain Latin-1 characters that break

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.
sysutils/fcron: fixup default argument promotion
When mode_t is char- or short-like, it will be promoted to the pure
int when it is passed as the variable argument [1], so we should pass
'int' to the va_arg.
I had also eliminated fflush for the stream opened read-only, since
it will always fail and there is no need to flush read-only streams.

- Install pam files directly (in /etc/pam.d, unless they already exist)
rather than just leaving them in the examples directory. There seems
to be no real security advantage to not installing the pam files since
they are required for fcron and fcrontab to operate, and root privs are
required to install fcron to begin with.
- The sockaddr.sa_len was not set prior to calls to bind() and connect().
The upshot begin that fcrondyn was unable to open the socket
to communicate with fcron.

Whoa there, boy, that's a mighty big commit y'all have there...
Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".
For ports-in-waiting:
USE_LIBTOOL=YES -> USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
USE_AUTOCONF=YES -> USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
USE_AUTOMAKE=YES -> USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14
Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.
Backout 1.5 of Makefile ETC is already set so why should configure need to
autodetect Also if you build as non-root you don't have correct perms on etc
