patch

The port was marked as BROKEN as it is not fetchable any more.
Since the original RRDBot project has been abandoned a long time ago, I propose switching to its active fork https://github.com/REANNZ/rrdbot that has minor bug fixes and enhancements.

  net-mgmt/rrdbot: switch to active fork

  Since the original RRDBot project has been abandoned a long time ago,
  the proposal is to switching to an active fork https://github.com/REANNZ/rrdbot
  that has minor bug fixes and enhancements.

  The REANNZ (Research and Education Advanced Network New Zealand) is a new
  Zealand's National Research and Education Network. They fork net-mgmt/rrdbot
  in 2015 and start doing changes and improvements in the existing source code
  You can see the git history in the github repo[1] (159 commits), but I also kept
  a full diff between the previous official version and the new repo version [2].

  [1] https://github.com/REANNZ/rrdbot/commits/master
  [2] https://people.freebsd.org/~rodrigo/rrdbot-0.9.7_switch_orig.diff

  The new repo doesn't provide official release numbers, so we kept the latest version
  number completed by the packaging date in the dYYYYMMDD format.
