RAT is a network audio tool that allows users to particpate in
audio conferences over the internet. These can be between two
participants directly, or between a group of participants on a
common multicast group. RAT features sender based loss mitigation
mechanisms and receiver based audio repair techniques to compensate
for packet loss, and load adaption in response to host performance.

Switch to <target>:: convention for both patch-autotools and run-autotools,
to allow for easier overriding of these targets by port Makefiles, if
they need to.
Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order. The code present
in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt
which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.
Light blue touch-paper. Run.
Whoa there, boy, that's a mighty big commit y'all have there...
Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".
For ports-in-waiting:
USE_LIBTOOL=YES -> USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
USE_AUTOCONF=YES -> USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
USE_AUTOMAKE=YES -> USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14
Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.
Upgrade rat to version 4.2.25.
Depend on tcl/tk 8.3 (won't build out of the box with 8.4)

Reset maintainer to ports@ due to maintainer's request -- he hasn't
had enough cycles for FreeBSD for a while. Thanks for your work
in the past, and hope things calm down for you!
newpcm reports the mixer vol control as an input, but it is an output control.
There are some configurations of rat that will set vol to zero thinking it's
an input, resulting in the user not hearing audio being received. This patch
removes vol from the driver reported inputs.
The port was suffering bit rot deriving from differences between the previous
pcm driver and newpcm. This replacement port adds newpcm mixer support and
brings port up to date with the current rat release (4.2.9).
