- Description:
- This library implements a number of functions found in -lmail on SysV
systems. These functions are designed to lock the standard mailboxes in
/var/mail (or wherever the system puts them).
In additions, this library adds a number of functions to create,
manage and remove generic lockfiles.
The lockfiles are created by this library in an NFS-safe manner, that
is by using a tempfile and using link(2) to create the lockfile. It
works around several defects in NFS servers to make sure the lockfile
is created atomically.
The locking strategy is compatible with other well-written NFS-safe
programs that create lockfiles - such as procmail, exim and mutt.
If you are trying to lock a mailbox in a directory writable for group
mail, the locking functions will call a helper application which runs
setgid to do the actual locking. The helper application "dotlockfile"
can also be used directly, for example for use in shellscripts.
This means a program such as a MUA doesn't need to be setgid mail anymore
to be able to lock the mailbox.

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.
