QuickPage sends messages to a paging terminal using the SNPP and IXO
(also known as TAP) protocols. It is normally used with no options
other than a recipient and the message text, in which case the message
is sent to the SNPP server where it is submitted to a page queue to be
sent by a separate daemon process.
Page groups and duty schedules are supported. Status notification
messages indicating the success or failure of a page are sent via
e-mail to submitters of high-priority (level 0) pages.
===> The following configuration options are available for qpage-3.3_9:
IDENT_PATCH=off: Disable libwrap ident lookups
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
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.

Stage comms/qpage
The PR wasn't quite right with regards to stage support, so I had to modify
it further. The post-install configure file handling was focused on the
wrong file. I updated the default name of the qpage configure file in
order to use the @sample keyword. I added an entry in UPDATING to let
users know they may need to move an existing configure file accordingly.

Changes by: marino
In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.
Fix a few "bad example" problems in the rc.d scripts that have been
propogated by copy and paste.
1. Primarily the "empty variable" default assignment, which is mostly
${name}_flags="", but fix a few others as well.
2. Where they are not already documented, add the existence of the _flags
(or other deleted empties) option to the comments, and in some cases add
comments from scratch.
3. Replace things that look like:
prefix=%%PREFIX%%
command=${prefix}/sbin/foo
to just use %%PREFIX%%. In many cases the $prefix variable is only used
once, and in some cases it is not used at all.
4. In a few cases remove ${name}_flags from command_args
5. Remove a long-stale comment about putting the port's rc.d script in
/etc/rc.d (which is no longer necessary).
No PORTREVISION bumps because all of these changes are noops.
- Added rc.subr integration and removed references to etc/rc.d/qpage.sh
- Added OPTIONS knob for enabling srvrsnpp.c patch from ports/123437 (felt it
was better to make the patch optional)
- Added more knobs for compile-time options: daemon user, syslog facility
- Changed ${INSTALL_SCRIPT} to ${INSTALL_DATA} in post-install target
- Removed old maintainer e-mail address from pkg-descr

The qpage port will run words together in long pages. The problem
is in msgcpy in util.c, where the breaks don't preserve word
boundries.

Nitpicks for the comms/qpage port
The comms/qpage port has a few minor problems. A default installation
gives
the following errors when the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qpage.sh script is
execute:
qpage[68438]: cannot open /etc/qpage.cf: No such file or directory
qpage[68438]: cannot access LockDir(/var/spool/lock): Permission
denied
qpage[68438]: cannot access QueueDir(/var/spool/qpage): No such file
or directory
qpage[68438]: cannot chdir to QueueDir(/var/spool/qpage): No such
file or directory
In short:
1) qpage looks for its configuration file in /etc instead of
/usr/local/etc
2) It setuid()'s to a user (daemon) without permission to access
/var/spool/lock
but does not document this anywhere outside of the source.
3) It's queue directory is not created by installing the port.

As threatened on freebsd-ports: all startup scripts know about the two options
`start' and `stop' now (unless I have forgotten any). This allows us to call
the scripts from /etc/rc.shutdown with the correct option.
