acts is a minimal shell script that creates backups with Tarsnap.
Some design goals:
Just backup, no restore.
Calendar-based (daily, monthly, yearly) backup schedule
Portable, small code footprint.
By default, 31 daily, 12 monthly, and indefinite yearly backups
are kept.
===> The following configuration options are available for acts-1.4.2:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
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.

sysutils/acts: update to 1.2
Patch sample config file to include usr/home as most modern FreeBSD
configs have /home as a symlink to /usr/home. Without this users coule
be tricked into thinking they were successfully backing up their home
directory.

Add full path to tarsnap binary in sample config
If you run acts from cron it may fail without full path to tarsnap binary
due to cron not having /usr/local/bin in PATH by default.
Welcome acts to the ports tree
acts is a utility for managing Tarsnap backups which is written in plain
sh(1). This utility was praised in mwl's Tarsnap Mastery book, but was
somehow missing from our dear ports tree.
Now it's here so I can better manage my backups, and you should too!
