GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or
block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue
data in case of read errors. Ddrescue does not truncate the output file
if not asked to. So, every time you run it on the same output file, it
tries to fill in the gaps. The basic operation of ddrescue is fully
automatic. That is, you don't have to wait for an error, stop the
program, read the log, run it in reverse mode, etc. If you use the
logfile feature of ddrescue, the data is rescued very efficiently (only
the needed blocks are read). Also you can interrupt the rescue at any
time and resume it later at the same point.
Automatic merging of backups: If you have two or more damaged copies of
a file, cdrom, etc, and run ddrescue on all of them, one at a time,
with the same output file, you will probably obtain a complete and
error-free file. This is so because the probability of having damaged
areas at the same places on different input files is very low. Using
the logfile, only the needed blocks are read from the second and
successive copies.

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.

Install texinfo files (GNU info) into ${PREFIX}/share/info
After a discussion on the mailing list on moving manpages to
${PREFIX}/share/man for consistency with base where it is
installed in usr/share/man, it appeared the same should happen
to GNU info files which were installed under share in base and
not in ports.
Now texinfo is not in base on any of the supported version of FreeBSD
it is possible to proceed to this move and it is easier to do than
the manpage change.
Other benefit than consistency are less patching: all build tools but
cmake are expecting info files to be under share/info and cmake (patched here)
was having an exception for BSD so the patch makes FreeBSD case less
specific for them
Bump revision of all impacted ports
PR: 232907
exp-run by: antoine
Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D17816
Update to ddrescue version 1.22, which includes the following changes:
- Option '-X, --exit-on-error' has been replaced by '-X, --max-read-errors'.
- New options --max-slow-reads, --delay-slow, --reset-slow,
--log-events, --mapfile-interval, --pause-on-error.
- Option --pause has been renamed to --pause-on-pass.
- Option --max-errors has been renamed to --max-bad-areas.
- Rescuebook shows read_errors, error_rate and slow_reads.
- Two new passes (3 and 4) added to the copying phase.
- Option '-K, --skip-size' now accepts sizes up to 1 EiB.
- Initial skip size now defaults to (infile_size / 100_000).
- Options --ask and -vv now show size along with model and serial number.
- New option '-A, --annotate-mapfile' for ddrescuelog.
- Plus various cleanups and tweaks.
Approved by: maintainer (Jason Harris <jharris@widomaker.com>)
For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.
