Instead of reading input in lines as sed, bbe reads
arbitrary blocks from an input stream and performs
byte-related transformations on found blocks. Blocks
can be defined using start/stop strings, stream offset
and block length, or a combination. Basic editing commands
include delete, replace, search/replace, binary operations
(and, or, etc.), append, and bcd/ASCII conversion. For
examining the input stream, it contains some grep-like
features like printing the input file name, stream offset,
and block number of found blocks. Block contents can also
be printed in different formats like hex, octal, ASCII, and
binary.
===> The following configuration options are available for bbe-0.2.2_3:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
textproc/bbe: Deprecate and set expiration date to 2025-04-30
Abandonware and unmaintained in tree for years
There's a fork that fixes a few things (see link) if anyone wants to pick it up

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.

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.

Install texinfo files (GNU info) into ${PREFIX}/share/info
After a discussion on the mailing list on moving manpages to
${PREFIX}/share/man for consistency with base where it is
installed in usr/share/man, it appeared the same should happen
to GNU info files which were installed under share in base and
not in ports.
Now texinfo is not in base on any of the supported version of FreeBSD
it is possible to proceed to this move and it is easier to do than
the manpage change.
Other benefit than consistency are less patching: all build tools but
cmake are expecting info files to be under share/info and cmake (patched here)
was having an exception for BSD so the patch makes FreeBSD case less
specific for them
Bump revision of all impacted ports

exp-run by: antoine
Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D17816
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
the Phabricator workflow. Categories T-V.
