mbuffer is a tool for buffering data streams. It is also a replacement
for buffer with additional functionality:
- multi-target network output
- on the fly hash calculation
- display of I/O speed
- optional use of memory mapped I/O for huge buffers
- multithreaded instead of sharedmemory ipc
- multi volume support
- autoloader support
- networking support
- command-line options compatible to buffer
===> The following configuration options are available for mbuffer-20261015:
GCRYPT=off: Use gcrypt for hash generation
MHASH=on: Use mhash for hash generation
RHASH=off: Use rhash for hash generation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

devel/cmake-core devel/cmake-gui misc/mbuffer: cope with librhash.so bump
Because rhash 1.4.4 updated the librhash.so symlink from .0 to .1,
build-time dependents such as cmake-core and cmake-gui need their
PORTREVISION bumped.
The other case is misc/mbuffer, which uses librhash only at runtime, but
hardcodes dlopen("librhash.so.0", RTLD_NOW). I changed this to just
"librhash.so", and it seems to work fine with light testing.

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.

misc/mbuffer: Update to 20190113
- mbuffer now tries to dlopen some libraries when looking for valid
hash functions. This happens at runtime only. Drop related
build dependencies, CONFIGURE_ARGS, and other workarounds.
- Add options for all supported hashing libraries
Unbreak misc/mbuffer when objdump is missing (for example on aarch64)
The configure script uses objdump to check for libc symbol names
for open/read/write/fstat. We could switch it to nm or readelf but
as the names are unlikely to ever going to differ from their visible
names on FreeBSD hardcode them instead and skip the check.
