fluxengineUSB floppy disk interface for reading and writing non-PC disk formats
572_1sysutilsΣ=0 572_1Version of this port present on the latest quarterly branch.

The FluxEngine is a very cheap USB floppy disk interface capable of reading
and writing exotic non-PC floppy disk formats. It allows you to use a
conventional PC drive to accept Amiga disks, CLV Macintosh disks, bizarre
128-sector CP/M disks, and other weird and bizarre formats.
The hardware consists of a single, commodity part with a floppy drive
connector soldered onto it. No ordering custom boards, no fiddly surface
mount assembly, and no fuss: nineteen simple solder joints and you're done.

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.

Mk/Uses/ninja.mk: Add support for devel/samurai (D29353)
Samurai is a Ninja-compatible build tool with fewer dependencies
than Ninja. Hook it to the framework via a new NINJA_DEFAULT.
This also adds %p to NINJA_STATUS to make Ninja or Samurai print
the percentage of completed jobs to make it easier to eyeball how
much of the build is done.

devel/samurai: Update to 1.2-15-gaff2085
This allows samurai to accept stray indented but otherwise empty
lines and we can drop the fluxengine workaround.

sysutils/fluxengine: Unbreak build with devel/samurai (D29353)
It does not like the extra whitespace which might be a bug in samurai
but for now just remove it and fix the build.
