Synopsis: [new port] NeoRouter client & server

State-Changed-From-To: feedback->open 
State-Changed-By: scheidell
State-Changed-When: Wed Dec 21 22:14:02 UTC 2011
State-Changed-Why: 
back to the pool.
The port doesn't really add anything past what neorouter make install does, and has various problems that need to be solved.
#1: won't work if you have ipv6 compiled, unless you use two letter interface names
#2: ignores the Feature.ini config file
#3: it does not fail on incorrect cli options (nrserver -run -dbdir /var/db/neorouter should fail)
#4: errors, when they happen are cryptic at best:
nrserver -run --dbroot /var/db/neorouter
NeoRouter Free [Version 1.5.1.2820]
Copyright (C) 2011 NeoRouter Inc.

nrserver failed to start due to error -2138973426.

These have to be fixed by neorouter.
#5, really needs to be installed in ../sbin  not bin. needs a REAL daemon mode, not one that requires daemon
(my opinion, not required)

As for port ready:  the RC file should be reworked.
This (default) rc file does not allow for command line options, and, at the very least,
should allow you to set --dbroot (FreeBSD conventions call for database to be in /var/db dir, not /usr/local/*)

So, if someone else wants this, fine.  I suggest that the pkg-plist look for this and not delete it:
pwd
/usr/local/ZebraNetworkSystems/NeoRouter
leroi# ls
Feature.ini		NeoRouter_0_0_1.db
