socklog in cooperation with the runit package is a small and secure replacement
for syslogd. There are three main features, syslogd provides:
- receiving syslog messages from an Unix domain socket (/dev/log) or UDP socket
(0.0.0.0:514) and writing them to various files on disk depending on facility
and priority.
- writing received syslog messages to an UDP socket (a.b.c.d:514)
socklog provides these features with the help of runit's runsvdir,
runsv, and svlogd, provides a different network logging concept, and
additionally does log event notification.
svlogd has a built in log file rotation based on file size, so there is no
need for any cron jobs or similar to rotate the logs. Log partitions can be
calculated properly.
===> The following configuration options are available for socklog-2.1.0_2:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

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.

- Make running self-tests an optional step since it may fail
in some environments (particularlly, bento's).
Move it from do-build to a new test target.
