NASL is a scripting language designed for the Nessus security scanner. Its
aim is to allow anyone to write a test for a given security hole in a few
minutes, to allow people to share their tests without having to worry
about their operating system, and to garantee everyone that a NASL script
can not do anything nasty except performing a given security test against
a given target. Thus, NASL allows you to easily forge IP packets, or to
send regular packets. It provides you some convenient functions that will
make the test of web and ftp server more easy to write. NASL
garantees you that a NASL script :
will not send any packet to a host other than the target host
will not execute any commands on your local system
NASL is not a powerful scripting language. Its purpose is to make scripts
that are security tests. So, do not expect to write a third generation web
server in this language, nor a file conversion utility. Use perl, python
or whatever scripting language to do this.

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.

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 to nessus version 2.0.10a
- Adopt the standard nessus directory structure, reducing the number
of files in ${PREFIX}/etc/nessus. Move existing files to the
right places

minor issues that I don't felt were justifying a 2.0.6."
