===> The following configuration options are available for vm-bhyve-1.7.5:
BHYVE_FIRMWARE=off: Required to run UEFI guests
EXAMPLES=on: Install example guest templates
GRUB2_BHYVE=off: Required to run Linux or any other guests that need a Grub bootloader
TMUX=off: Tmux console access instead of cu/nmdm
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
To enable vm-bhyve, please add the following lines to rc.conf,
depending on whether you are using ZFS storage or not. Please note
that the directory or dataset specified should already exist.
vm_enable="YES"
vm_dir="zfs:pool/dataset"
OR
vm_enable="YES"
vm_dir="/directory/path"
Then run 'vm init'.
It might be needed to increase the values of the following tunables.
They need to be high enough to allow for a proper shutdown of all VM's.
- kern.init_shutdown_timeout (adjusted with sysctl.conf)
- rcshutdown_timeout (adjusted with rc.conf)
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.

sysutils/vm-bhyve-devel: add new port
Contrary to the sysutils/vm-bhyve port which tracks releases,
this port will track the head of the main branch. The main reason
is that upstream has become stale in creating releases. This way
we atleast get some improvements that have not yet been included
in a release. Last release dates from January 2020.

sysutils/vm-bhyve: add security/ca_root_nss as a RUN_DEPENDS
"vm iso" uses fetch(1) to download iso files. A major source of iso files
is download.freebsd.org. If no other source of certificates has been
installed, fetch will use OpenSSL's default CA cert and path settings, but
those don't recognize the Let's Encrypt certificate used by
download.freebsd.org.
Installing security/ca_root_nss provides an alternative bundle of root
certificates, which do trust download.freebsd.org. Since
download.freebsd.org is so critically important to most vm-bhyve users,
security/ca_root_nss should be a RUN_DEPENDS.

that are not implemented.
Also adds generic bhyve_options configuration setting to pass arbitrary
arguments to the bhyve(8) command.
