Thread
Hello porters,

I am the author of the netflow tool nfdump and have noticed that the nfdump port
for OpenBSD not only lacks some features, but also was not updated for some time.

I did not found the port maintainer, so I decided to jump into the OpenBSD ports
pond and would like to send my first contribution to the ports list for the nfdump
package.

- Updated to current version nfdump-1.7.7
- Add nfpcapd pcap to netflow collector into main package.
- Add nfdump config file
- Unbundle the flow-tools converter into new sub package.
   Most people won't need it anyway, therefore get rid of unneeded dependency.
- Remove nsel option. Most people don't have nsel flows anyway. the appropriate
   flow output format can be configured in nfdump.conf. The nsel option has no effect
   for the code anyway.

If there is an active maintainer, feel free to use this update. If there is no active
maintainer I would volunteer to take it over.

	- Peter
