chyves is a bhyve front-end manager. chyves manages type-2 virtualized guests by
utilizing hardware virtualization on a base FreeBSD 10.3+ installation. On a
base install, only FreeBSD guests can run. However, with the installation of
sysutils/grub2-bhyve and sysutils/bhyve-firmware from ports or pkg, most other
OSes can run as a guest, including Windows. See DEPENDENCIES section in the man
page for more information.
chyves is targeted for beginners as well as power users. Beginners should find
chyves relatively easy to use with lots of documentation and demonstrations.
While power users should find utility with features such as true ZFS clones,
PCI passthrough, rapid execution against many guests, disk images, and snapshot
reverted states on boot/reboot to name a few of the advanced features.
The name 'chyves' is the pluralized, big endian alphabetic increment of bhyve.
'chyves' is pronounced like 'chives', part of the Allium genus. The onion is
also in the Allium genus.
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.

Replace do-patch in ports that override it with more appropriate targets
Most ports do not need to override do-patch. It breaks some ports
tree features like EXTRA_PATCH_TREE, etc.
Add sysutils/chyves:
