This is the set of GNU shar utilities. This port installs them
with the letter "g" prepended to their names, to avoid conflict
with the FreeBSD base system. The uudecode and uuencode commands
are omitted (BSD versions are present in the base system). The
shar utilities deal with shar files, so-called shell archives, which
are scripts suitable for transmission by e-mail or Usenet.
When a shar file is executed, the files it contains are unpacked
without the need for any software other than the shell itself and
sed. Because they are scripts, shell archives from strangers should
be read before executing them, to check for harmful commands.
synopses from the info pages:
* gmail-files: Send files to remote site.
* gmailshar: Make and send a shell archive.
* gremsync: Synchronize remote directory trees using e-mail.
* gshar: Make a shell archive.
* gunshar: Explode a shell archive.
===> The following configuration options are available for sharutils-4.15.2_4:
NLS=on: Native Language Support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
*/*: Restore GNU_CONFIGURE on my ports
I made a mistake and changed these ports to HAS_CONFIGURE when working
on MANPREFIX sanitization. Restore proper macro usage and set
GNU_CONFIGURE_MANPREFIX properly to keep manpages installed under
${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.

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
PR: 232907

Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D17816
Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).
PR: ports/124340
Submitted by: edwin@
Approved by: portmgr (pav)
Update the list of what this port installs (and does not install).
Add synopses from the info pages. Explain in more detail what shar
archives are. Add a note about security. Add keywords.
