MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program.
The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with
ncurses). It can also monitor wildcards: if another file matching the wildcard
has a more recent modification date, it will automatically switch to that file.
That way you can, for example, monitor a complete directory of files. Merging
of 2 or even more logfiles is possible. It can also use colors while displaying
the logfiles (through regular expressions), for faster recognition of what is
important and what not. It can also filter lines (again with regular
expressions). It has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions
and deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output of
shell scripts and other software. When viewing the output of external software,
MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like 'watch' and such.
===> The following configuration options are available for multitail-7.1.5_1:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
*/*: De-orbit alias.mk
Mk/Uses/alias.mk was an attempt for compat with DPorts, but has rotted.
This feature was never documented in the PHB, so there is no work to
be done by the docs@ team.
Nothing against DragonFly, but if DPorts still needs FreeBSD 9
support, they really should work that out with upstream projects.
Ultimately, we don't need to keep carrying this outdated feature that
doesn't affect us.
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.

ncurses: partial revert 266130ce71ef2f1cd944a70789bf003da3254c29
In many places I overlooked at the problem we were trying to solve when
libncurses is split.
ncurses: fix build with futur base and ports ncurses
in preparation for the split in base of libtinfo and libncurses, clearly
specify when the packages should link against.
Note this also fixes the build with ports ncurses
Rework multitail to be futur friendly regarding ncurses
Drop useless post-patch which are not doing anything anymore
Patch the Makefile to link to ncursesw if this is the implementation we do use
or in the futur link to ncurses (and panel) when only this version will be left
in base
According to the Porter's Handbook (5.12.2.3.) default options must be added to
OPTIONS_DEFINE. This policy has been implemented only recently that's why we
have many ports violating this policy.
This patch adds the default options specified in the Porter's Handbook to
OPTIONS_DEFINE where they are being used. Ports maintained by
gnome@FreeBSD.org, kde@FreeBSD.org and x11@FreeBSD.org have been excluded.

Fixup the config file path, otherwise, it ends up trying to read it from, the
stagedir, which, from a poudriere built package would be:
You can prevent this message by adding the line 'check_mail:0' in
/wrkdirs/usr/ports/sysutils/multitail/work/stage/usr/local/etc/multitail.conf
or in .multitailrc in your home-directory.
The vast majority of pkg-descr files had the following format when they
had both lines:
Author: ...
WWW: ....
So standardize on that, and move them to the end of the file when necessary.
Also fix some more whitespace, and remove more "signature tags" of varying
forms, like -- name, etc.
s/AUTHOR/Author/
A few other various formatting issues
Tarball has been rerolled. Author just added a function goodbye() which
printf's "thank you for flying multitail" and the like.
