sysutils/freedt 24 OpenBSD

freedt is a reimplementation of Dan Bernstein's daemontools under the ISC licence, sharing no code with the original implementation.

It currently includes feature-equivalent replacements for argv0, envdir, envuidgid, setlock, setuidgid, softlimit, supervise, svc, svok, svscan, svstat and recordio. It also includes dumblog (a simple multilog replacement), mkservice (a script for automatically creating service directories), anonidentd (an anonymizing identd implementation) and ratelimit (a bandwidth-limiting filter along the lines of recordio). All the tools include usage messages; for instance, do "ratelimit -h" for a brief rundown of the options.

Please note that this package is not a drop-in replacement for daemontools; the internal state files in service directories are different, and the error messages (and a few of the options) aren't quite the same.

The recordio script (simple "ratelimit -r" wrapper) was removed to avoid conflict with net/ucspi-tcp. For the same reason the argv0 was renamed to fargv0.
