Maintainer, what's the reason for keeping old trafshow versions? Can I
commit this update into net/trafshow and remove net/trafshow4?

Hello Jean-Yves,

There is really no reason, except that I've been too busy to maintain
the port. When the new version was released, I submitted a patch to the
port, but folks reported problems with the display/aggregation, so I
soon recommended the patch be backed out, splitting trafshow into
different ports for 3.x and 4.x.

If these problems have been resolved and tested, then I recommend
committing the update.

Thanks,
- Ryan

Hello Ryan,

Version 4 of trafshow port has no aggregation, but program has new feature - 
display traffic of Netflow datagrams. Version 5 displays Netflow and can do 
simple aggregation. Versions 4 and 5 of trafshow is too different, because 5 
is too interactive. Think, that all versions have to be in different ports, 
but maybe try to adopt the aggregate-patch from net/trafshow to 
net/trafshow4 and update it to net/trafshow, and trafshow5 will be in 
different port?

Committed with a few modifications (as an update to net/trafshow rather than 
as a new port; net/trafshow4 removed), thanks! 

I've tested aggregation and it seems to work properly. The fact that trafshow 
5 is too different from trafshow 4 does not justify creating yet another 
trafshow port.
