Description Oddbjorn Steffensen 1999-03-20 00:30:00 UTC 
    A new port for bpft -- the BPF Traffic Collector.

    A few of notes :

    1. bpft is a superset of trafshow, which is already in the ports
       collection. I'm not sure what is the best way of resolving
       this potential conflict -- we can set MANUAL_PACKAGE_BUILD, 
       we can add a warning in pkg/MESSAGE or something even more
       elaborate. However, I can't see that for instance the various 
       apache ports take this into account.

    2. There are two patches for trafshow; I've added one of these,
       but the other seems to be in part implemented by this version
       of bpft, and the patch seem to be PPP-related, and I have no
       easy way to test it. I suggest that people try out this port, 
       and we deal with the problems if they pop up.

    3. The package is poorly documented, with only one man page for
       trafshow. The rest is documented in the README, which I copy
       into /usr/local/share/doc/bpft. However, I'll try to hack
       together some real man pages as soon as possible.

    4. This is my first port, so be gentle.. :-)
