A cross-platform Ruby library for retrieving facts from operating systems.
Supports multiple resolution mechanisms, any of which can be restricted to
working only on certain operating systems or environments. Facter is
especially useful for retrieving things like operating system names, IP
addresses, MAC addresses, and SSH keys.
*/*: Deprecate discontinued OSS Puppet components
As announced in the [2025Q4] status report, the legacy ports for Open
Source Puppet (which were abandonned by Perforce following the
aquisition of Puppetlabs), are now deprecated and scheduled for removal
in a few months.
Switching from Puppet to OpenVox is relatively straightforward: when
installing the replacement for a deprecated component, pkg(8) will
detect a conflict between the legacy component and the new one and will
prompt you to remove the deprecated package, which is the right course
of action.
For more details, refer to the [2025Q4] status report.

sysutils/rubygem-facter: Fix with Ruby 3.4
base64 used to be a default gem, but starting with Ruby 3.4 it is not
anymore. Add this dependency explicitly to fix packages built with a
non-default version of Ruby.
Not bumping PORTREVISION as packages built against the default version
of Ruby have no issue and can wait for another reason to be rebuilt.

Mk/**ruby.mk: Switch from USE_RUBY=yes to USES=ruby
Switch from Mk/bsd.ruby.mk to Mk/Uses/ruby.mk
Notable changes are.
- Mk/bsd.ruby.mk is moved to Mk/Uses/ruby.mk.
- USE_RUBY=yes is replaced with USES=ruby.
- USE_RUBY_EXTCONF is replaced with USES=ruby:extconf.
- USE_RUBY_RDOC is replaced with USES=ruby:rdoc.
- USE_RUBY_SETUP is replaces with USES=ruby:setup.
- RUBY_NO_BUILD_DEPENDS and RUBY_NO_RUN_DEPENDS are replaced with
USES=ruby:{build,none,run}.
- RUBY_REQUIRE isn't used anywhere, so removed.
- USES=gem now implies USES=ruby.

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/rubygem-facter: Add soft-dependencies
Some facts are only resolved when some extra gems are installed. Add
them as dependecy so that we have all basic facts by default regardless
of what is already installed on the system.
While here, reorder the Makefile to make portlint happy.

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

Add an explicit dependency on rubygem-ffi
Facter is able to operate without FFI support, but some FreeBSD facts depend on
FFI to be fetched, so add an explicit dependency in order to make sure the
following facts are resolvable:
* disks
* dmi
* load_averages
* memory.system
* partitions
* processors.count
* processors.models
* processors.speed

Add staticly named symlink to port-versioned directory
To be utilized by sysutils/puppetserver, here we add a symlink to point at the
