[ excerpt from developer's www site ]
The Cryptokit library for Objective Caml provides a variety of
cryptographic primitives that can be used to implement cryptographic
protocols in security-sensitive applications. The primitives provided
include:
Symmetric-key cryptography: AES, DES, Triple-DES, ARCfour, in ECB,
CBC, CFB and OFB modes. Public-key cryptography: RSA encryption and
signature; Diffie-Hellman key agreement. Hash functions and MACs:
SHA-1, MD5, and MACs based on AES and DES. Random number generation.
Encodings and compression: base 64, hexadecimal, Zlib compression.
Additional ciphers and hashes can easily be used in conjunction
with the library. In particular, basic mechanisms such as chaining
modes, output buffering, and padding are provided by generic classes
that can easily be composed with user-provided ciphers. More
generally, the library promotes a "Lego"-like style of constructing
and composing transformations over character streams.
===> The following configuration options are available for ocaml-cryptokit-1.19:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Mk/**ocaml.mk: Convert remaining bsd.ocaml.mk to Uses/ocaml.mk
- Instead of USE_OCAML=yes use USES=ocaml. If empty USES=ocaml implies
build and run
- Instead of USE_OCAMLFIND_PLIST use USES=ocaml:findplist which also
implies USES=ocaml:findlib
- Instead of USE_OCAML_CAMLP4 use USES=ocaml:camlp4
- Instead of USE_OCAML_FINDLIB use USES=ocaml:findlib
- Instead of USE_OCAML_LDCONFIG use USES=ocaml:ldconfig
- Instead of USE_OCAML_WASH use USES=ocaml:wash
- Instead of NO_OCAML_BUILDDEPENDS use USES=ocaml:run
- Instead of NO_OCAML_RUNDDEPENDS use USES=ocaml:build
- Instead of USE_OCAML_TK use USES=ocaml:tk which actually implies
USES=ocaml:tkbuild and USES=ocaml:tkrun
- Instead of NO_OCAMLTK_BUILDDEPENDS use USES=ocaml:tkrun
- Instead of NO_OCAMLTK_RUNDEPENDS use USES=ocaml:tkbuild
- USES=ocaml:dune remains unchanged
- Prepare to add/remove keywords easily

lang/ocaml: Update to 4.08.1
This update allows (and for some requires) to also update dependencies
to newer versions. Where possible I updated to the latest version.
The ocaml port now is MAKE_JOBS safe.

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.

security/ocaml-cryptokit: transient update to version 1.11
Mainly for adapting to "safe string" mode. The API should remain
backward-compatible for clients compiled in "unsafe string" mode.
Update OCaml to version 4.05.0 (this is the last version where strings
are unsafe by default, which is the main motivation why it was picked,
but not the very latest one) and synchronize the rest of the stack and
dependent ports with it, particularly:
- Update `devel/ocaml-ocamlbuild' to version 0.14.0 and unbreak,
register build dependency on all ports that require it (should
be part of USE_OCAML, but we do not want to make any Mk-related
changes the for time being)
- Update `devel/ocaml-camlp4' to version 4.05+2
- Update `devel/ocaml-camlp5' to version 7.07 (the project had
moved to GitHub)
- Mark `devel/ocaml-deriving-ocsigen' as BROKEN for now, it is
very outdated and requires quite a lot of work
- Update `x11-toolkits/ocaml-labltk' to version 8.06.3

Reset 14 ocaml ports maintained by Jaap Boender per his request
"I don't use FreeBSD very much anymore, so I'm not really the best person
to fix this. (As a corollary, if anyone wants to take over maintainership
of any or all of the ports, I'm still listed as maintainer of, they are
most welcome to.)"
Given that Jaap hasn't submitted or handled any PRs since before staging,
I think it will be more effective to just reset all the ports and let
people pick up the ones they like. Thanks for your past support, Jaap!
