SnapRAID is a backup program for disk arrays. It stores parity information of
your data and it recovers from up to six disk failures.
SnapRAID is mainly targeted for a home media center, where you have a lot of
big files that rarely change. Beside the ability to recover from disk failures,
the other features of SnapRAID are:
* You can use disk already filled with files, without the need to reformat them.
You will access them like now.
* All your data is hashed to ensure data integrity and to avoid silent
corruption.
* If the failed disks are too many to allow a recovery, you lose the data only
on the failed disks. All the data in the other disks is safe.
* If you accidentally delete some files in a disk, you can recover them.
* The disks can have different sizes.
* You can add disks at any time.
* It doesn't lock-in your data. You can stop using SnapRAID at any time without
the need to reformat or move data.
* To access a file, only a single disk needs to spin, saving power and producing
less noise.
sysutils/snapraid: update to 14.2
A bug fix release for an issue on some Linux file systems (such as
F2FS) where posix_fadvise() can fail in unexpected ways. While we
are not known to be affected, it is conceivable that something like
this happens with a FUSE filesystem.

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.
