weather looks like outside, in ASCII art. It includes rain, snow,
lightning, sleet, and hail. The windspeed and cloudiness are reflected
in the velocity and quantity of clouds. There are trees that age,
reproduce and die over the course of an hour, and a sun and moon that
follow the actual sun and moonrise. There's also a dancing turtle.

whether that format is a common mapping format like Delorme, Streets and Trips,
or even a serial upload or download to a GPS unit such as those from Garmin and
Magellan. By flattening the Tower of Babel that the authors of various programs
for manipulating GPS data have imposed upon us, it returns to us the ability
to freely move our own waypoint data between the programs and hardware we
choose to use.
It contains extensive data manipulation abilities making it a convenient for
server-side processing or as the backend for other tools.

attached to a host computer through serial or USB ports,
making all data on the location/course/velocity of the
sensors available to be queried on TCP port 2947 of the
host computer. With gpsd, multiple GPS client applications
(such as navigational and wardriving software) can share
access to GPSes without contention or loss of data. Also,
gpsd responds to queries with a format that is substantially
easier to parse than the NMEA 0183 emitted by most GPSes.

This version of SETI@home is based on BOINC (Berkeley Open
Infrastructure for Network Computing). Several other projects
besides SETI@home are using BOINC. BOINC lets you participate in
more than one project, and it lets you specify what fraction of
your computer time should go to each project.
This port requires net/boinc-client and together these supersede
the astro/setiathome port which is now known as SETI-Classic.
Be sure to join the "FreeBSD" team on the SETI website once you're
up and running.

SQueuer is a queueing proxy for Seti@Home with the following features:
* Keeps a configurable sized queue of work units so that
the client will always be able to get a new work unit
immediately upon finishing one.
* Queues results for uploading should the main Seti@Home
site be overloaded or down. Results are never lost and the
client is never delayed waiting to upload a result.
* Can handle multiple users running the Seti@Home client
on multiple machines all connecting to SQueuer.
* Platform independent. SQueuer has been tested and found
to work on different versions of Unix, MacOS and Windows.
All it requires is a Perl 5 interpreter.

which had a dependency on audio/xamp (being removed), so I removed that
dependency and bumped PORTREVISION. All other ports are real dependents
upon Qt 1.x, including KDE 1.x stuff.
Code in bsd.kde.mk supporting these ports is also removed or adjusted.
Also, some adjustments made to accomodate Qt3/KDE3 ports, which will be
committed Real Soon Now (TM), pending repo-copies.
This commit made in impending view of Qt3/KDE3 entering ports tree.
