htop is an enhanced version of top, the interactive process viewer,
which can display the list of processes in a tree form.
Comparison between 'htop' and 'top'
* In 'htop' you can scroll the list vertically and horizontally
to see all processes and full command lines.
* In 'top' you are subject to a delay for each unassigned
key you press (especially annoying when multi-key escape
sequences are triggered by accident).
* 'htop' starts faster ('top' seems to collect data for a while
before displaying anything).
* In 'htop' you don't need to type the process number to
kill a process, in 'top' you do.
* In 'htop' you don't need to type the process number or
the priority value to renice a process, in 'top' you do.
* In 'htop' you can kill multiple processes at once.
* 'top' is older, hence, more tested.
===> The following configuration options are available for htop-3.5.3:
LSOF=off: LiSt Open Files utility support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
sysutils/htop: simplify Makefile
This change cleans up the Makefile to follow Porter's Handbook guidance.
Here is the rationale for each change:
* As per
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/book/#makefile-master_sites-github,
ports are urged to move to using Github releases instead of git tags.
This change replaces USE_GITHUB with MASTER_SITES to statically point
to htop release tarballs. This also requires the addition of USES=tar:xz
* Remove USES=autoreconf because the release tarball doesn't need to run it
* Remove USES=compiler:c11 since upstream https://github.com/htop-dev/htop
states that a C99 compiler is needed.
* Add USES=desktop-file-utils as the port installs htop.desktop
* htop does not exist in the official NVD CPE dictionary, so as per
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/book/#uses-cpe, we
should "not ever make up CPE data." Thus, USES=cpe is removed until an
entry is contributed to the CPE dictionary
* USES={libtool,localbase,pkgconfig,python:build,shebangfix} are not
necessary for a successful build and run with the GH release tarball.
* GNU_CONFIGURE_MANPREFIX was unnecessary since default value in
Mk/bsd.port.mk is same ${PREFIX}/share

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.

sysutils/htop: Disable LSOF option by default
This commit should ensure that we have a htop package for 13.0-RELEASE
on non-x86 archs. When sysutils/lsof fails to build (and that
happens often enough) htop is skipped and we no longer have a package
for it. lsof is only used for htop's "list open files" view.
