PEDA (Python Exploit Development Assistance for GDB) is a plugin for GDB. It
extends GDB with a colorful text-based UI making it easier to work with the
debugger.
Note that PEDA requires that GDB is compiled with Python support.
Its key features are:
- Enhance the display of GDB: colorize and display disassembly codes,
registers, memory information during debugging.
- Add commands to support debugging and exploit development.
===> The following configuration options are available for peda-1.2:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Now that PEDA is installed it can be used with gdb(1).
Run the following command in the gdb prompt to load the plugin:
```
source /usr/local/libexec/peda/peda.py
```
In order to load PEDA automatically on gdb(1) launch add the line mentioned
above to ~/.gdbinit:
```
echo "source /usr/local/libexec/peda/peda.py" >> ~/.gdbinit
```
Keep in mind that PEDA requires at least GDB 7.0 to work.
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.
