Description:
Biostar-Tools is a metaport for installing all the tools necessary to work through the Biostar Handbook. The handbook instructs the reader to install these tools mostly via bioconda, which then requires the user to activate the bioconda environment each time they want to use the tools. You can also install conda packages on FreeBSD if you wish. For details, see /usr/ports/sysutils/linux-miniconda-installer/pkg-descr Biostar-tools installs all of the tools except emboss to the default PATH (normally /usr/local/bin) so they just work without any special environment. Emboss commands are installed to /usr/local/emboss/bin due to conflicts with other packages. Run "biostar-shell" to add the emboss commands to your PATH, and simply exit the shell to return your PATH to normal.

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.

biology/biostar-tools: Allow package build on non-amd64 systems
