[NEW] net/openfpc

[jul_bsd@…]

OpenFPC is a set of scripts that combine to provide a lightweight full-packet network traffic recorder & buffering tool. It's design goal is to allow non-expert users to deploy a distributed network traffic recorder on COTS hardware while integrating into existing alert and log tools.

Thanks, added in r70314 with these changes:

• whitespace / formatting changes
• made you the maintainer with openmaintainer
• tweaked description
• changed master_sites to just "googlecode"
• changed perl dependency to "path:bin/perl:perl5" which is our preferred way to write it since there are multiple ports that could provide perl (perl5.8, perl5.10, perl5.12)
• changed your configure phase to a post-patch phase and added "use_configure no"
• replaced complicated reinplaces with simpler reinplace/patchfile combos, which are also more future-proofed
• added "supported_archs noarch" since this port doesn't install any architecture-specific files (only perl scripts)
• simplified destroot by removing foreach loops and instead using xinstall's -W argument to allow installing multiple files where necessary

What do we need to do about the commented-out runtime dependency on tcpdump? Do we need to enable that?

r70317:

• install a sample configuration file instead of the real thing (so the user's configuration changes don't get clobbered by upgrading the port)
• add notes pointing users to config file

argh ...

miss some gnu-ism:

• mkdir --parent => mkdir -p
• date -d <date> => ???

EPOC_FIRST=$(date -d "$FIRSTPACKET" +%s)

• call to daemonlogger (​http://www.snort.org/users/roesch/Site/Daemonlogger/Daemonlogger.html), new port needed (Ticket #26006)
• there is one call to tcpdump so the bin is needed.

Port is committed so submission ticket should be closed. Open new tickets for any bugs or enhancements.
