Bot filter coming soon

To deter bots pegging the database CPU to 100%, a bot testing filter to be added to the website. This should not affect newsfeeds etc. Anubis seems light-weight - it is already in use within the FreeBSD Project. This notice is just a heads up in case you see something odd. This notice will be updated after Anubis is installed.

Description:
gxkb is a little indicator applet which allows to quickly switch between different X11 keyboard layouts. A flag corresponding to the country of the active layout is shown in the system tray area. The applet is written in C and uses just the GTK+ library, not any other GNOME components, and can maintain separate per-window, per-application, or global layout states.

x11/gxkb: the port had been updated to the latest version 0.9.5

This release comes with 65 new country flags; others had been redrawn
in a new style (borderless with rounded corners).  Unfortunately, two
flags we pull from the earlier version adhere to the previous style
and thus do not quite fit.  This is acceptable for now, but we should
really replace them with better matching versions obtained elsewhere.

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.
