The bsdcrashtar utility creates tar a archive that contains all files needed
for debugging FreeBSD kernel crash (vmcore, kernel, loaded modules, sources
that appear in backtrace). This is useful for debugging a crash on another
host, sending it to developers or if you are going to upgrade the kernel on
crashed host but would like to keep crashdump in case the developers ask you to
provide additional info.
Created tar archive contains also a script that when being run inside unpacked
archive will give kgdb(1) session with crash core loaded in it. The script
should be run with root privileges because it does chroot(8) before starting
kgdb(1).
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.

Move sysutils/bsdcrashtar from GOOGLE_CODE to GitHub
Summary:
This port is too useful to be removed. Since the author has already moved the
project from Google Code to GitHub I think this port should follow.
Test Plan:
- portlint -A: OK
- poudriere testport (all supported tier-1 arch): OK

Mark the remaining ports depending on Google Code as DEPRECATED, with an
EXPIRATION_DATE at the end of April 2017.
In the past six months, about a third of the ports marked BROKEN because
they were hosted on Google Code have been fixed. The remaining must not
be of use to anyone.

GOOGLE_CODE has gone away.
- If a port has another upstream, remove GOOGLE_CODE
- If a port only has GOOGLE_CODE mark it BROKEN
Some ports have a local mirror configured but for security reasons, it
is not considered upstream.
