Many project are mirrored worldwide. Mirmon helps in monitoring these mirrors.
In a concise graphic format, mirmon shows each site's history of the last two
weeks, making it easy to spot stale or dead mirrors. Mirmon quietly probes a
subset of the sites in a given list, writes the results in the 'state' file,
and generates a Web page with the results
===> The following configuration options are available for mirmon-2.11_1:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
The program is intended to be run by cron every hour.
42 * * * * perl /usr/local/bin/mirmon -q -get update
It quietly probes a subset of the sites in a given list,
writes the results in the 'state' file and generates a web page
with the results. The subset contains the sites that are new, bad
and/or not probed for a specified time.
When no 'get' option is specified, the program just generates a
new web page from the last known state.
The program checks the mirrors by running a (user specified)
program on a pipe. A (user specified) number of probes is
run in parallel using nonblocking IO. When something can be
read from the pipe, it switches the pipe to blocking IO and
reads one line from the pipe. Then it flushes and closes the
pipe. No attempt is made to kill the probe.
The probe should return something that looks like "1043625600\n",
that is, a timestamp followed by a newline. The exit status of
the probe is ignored.
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.

According to the Porter's Handbook (5.12.2.3.) default options must be added to
OPTIONS_DEFINE. This policy has been implemented only recently that's why we
have many ports violating this policy.
This patch adds the default options specified in the Porter's Handbook to
OPTIONS_DEFINE where they are being used. Ports maintained by
gnome@FreeBSD.org, kde@FreeBSD.org and x11@FreeBSD.org have been excluded.
