include the URL that has changed and a unified diff of what has changed.
The script supports the use of a filtering hook function to strip

instead. It is just too hard to maintain a coherent list of still
reachable homepages for GNOME projects so use wiki.gnome.org which is
the entry point for *all* GNOME apps.
- ezpublish, no maintainer, last updated 2009/08/24
- mantis, no maintainer, out of date
- phplist, very outdated and no-one maintains it
- phpmemcachedadmin, port only extract the distfile and that's it
- vtigercrm, port only extract the distfile and that's it
While we do this in a case-by-case basis, this was done for one of the
following reasons:
* do not give user a sense of security because there is a pkg available
when it is in fact outdated/unmaintained and including possible security
issues
* package with no added value besides extracting the distfile under
/var/www are pretty useless -- they demand an effort to be kept up to
date for no benefits (except if someone actually maintains it of course)
* some webapps must complete a strict version update path -- eg.
updating from 1.0 to 1.5 requires updating to 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4
first -- that does not work well with pkg

PS: no we are not in a rampage to remove lots of www apps -- just some when
it makes sense
just a matter of following upstream and untarring under htdocs.
webapp as a pkg needs to have some added value and no, 'pkg_add webapp' is
not easier if the app has actually no maintainer -- it is safer to follow
upstream.
webacula is one of them and is not even maintained upstream, so zap it.

The port isn't maintained and rather out-of-date, it doesn't add much
value by way of easy installation instructions, and additionally if we
were to update to a current version, the upgrade procedure requires
going through an intermediate version. As such, users are advised to
install through standard distfiles instead.
