Whowatch is an interactive, ncurses-based, process and users monitoring tool
which updates information in real time. It can be described as a some kind of
interactive mix of ps, pstree, lsof, w, finger and kill. You can watch
information about users currently logged on to the machine: login type - ie.
"ssh" "telnet", tty, host, idle time and command line of their current process.
You can also naviagate in processes tree, watch process details (memory, uid,
open descriptors with TCP sockets mapped on IP:port -> IP:port pair etc.).
Whowatch has support for plugins.
sysutils/whowatch: Update 1.4 => 1.8.6.2, take maintainership
Switch to upstream with FreeBSD support:
- The new update wasn't working on FreeBSD due to Linuxisms and FreeBSD
wrong API usages.
- Overhauled the codebase in a fork and updated it to work on both
Linux and FreeBSD.
- Uses of sysctl, libprocstat, kvm etc to gather the system informations.

sysutils/whowatch: Revert port removal and mark it broken
This reverts commit 10c44e86de34692159e298a8d3542cecd596c5db.
This reverts commit e49d8ae4238f7402cfc9d9cc61c033c85ceaa818.
Mark sysutils/whowatch broken because current version is completly
unusable in FreeBSD. PR 293113 tries to fix it.
sysutils/Makefile: Remove sysutils/whowatch
Whowatch was designed as a Linux application that relies
on /var/log/wtmp and /var/run/utmp, which are now legacy
on FreeBSD.
Fixing the application for FreeBSD requires rewriting a large part of it.
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.
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
MASTER_SITES cleanup.
- Replace ${MASTER_SITE_FOO} with FOO.
- Merge MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR into MASTER_SITES when possible. (This means 99.9%
of the time.)
- Remove occurrences of MASTER_SITE_LOCAL when no subdirectory was present and
no hint of what it should be was present.
- Fix some logic.
- And generally, make things more simple and easy to understand.
While there, add magic values to the FESTIVAL, GENTOO, GIMP, GNUPG, QT and
SAMBA macros.
Also, replace some EXTRACT_SUFX occurences with USES=tar:*.

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.
Add MASTER_SITE_PACKETSTORM as an additional mirror.
