Ed Schouten 48d8ffe42e New port: devel/yaml2argdata.
The latest release of cloudabi-utils has cloudabi-run rewritten from C
into C++. It now also has integrated support for attaching processes to
CloudABI's networking daemon, Flower.

In the process, code specific to parsing YAML configuration files
describing process configuration and resource dependencies has been
placed into a separate library, called yaml2argdata. This has the
advantage that this code can now be used by CloudABI's Kubernetes daemon
as well. Add a package for it, so sysutils/cloudabi-utils can make use
of it when we bump it.

Argdata is a binary serialisation format similar to FreeBSD's nvlists.
It differs from nvlists in that it uses data types that are more similar
to YAML.
Argdata is used by CloudABI as a replacement for string command line
arguments and environment variables. CloudABI processes can start new
processes by passing them a YAML-like tree of arguments, having file
descriptors of resources annotated to the tree.
This package provides a series of helper classes that are used by
utilities like cloudabi-run to parse and translate YAML to Argdata.
These classes are useful when building custom utilities for launching
CloudABI processes, such as CloudABI's Kubernetes daemon.
