Hi.

Goal:
    Upgrade net/libnet & net/libnet-devel for current versions.

Problems:
    API from versions in ports and current version differ, so 
    packages which are based on libnet and now compiled successfully,will fail
    to compile afterwards.
    So this packages (~40) need be updated too. 

I'm ready to do all the work, but I need someone who will commit all these
patches to ports at once.
You should also check my way of porting to be correct.

Details:
   Project page:    http://www.packetfactory.net/projects/libnet 

   Existing versions (from developer)
      1.0.2a                   Deprecated 1.0.x Tree (unsupported)
      1.1.2.1                  Latest Stable Version
      1.1.3                    Latest Beta Version

   Current status in ports
      1.0.2a                   net/libnet
      1.1.2.1                  net/libnet-devel 

   There's no backward compatibility between Versions 1.0.2a and 1.1.2.1.

Solution:
   first copy net/libnet to net/libnet10
   update all ports which depend on net/libnet (1.0.2a) to become
        depended on net/libnet10
   remove net/libnet
   copy net/libnet-devel (1.1.2.1) to net/libnet
   update all ports which depend on net/libnet-devel (1.1.2.1) to become
        depended on net/libnet
   update net/libnet-devel from version 1.1.2.1 to 1.1.3.1


   Status in ports at the end 
      1.0.2a                   net/libnet10
      1.1.2.1                  net/libnet
      1.1.3                    net/libnet-devel 

If you have a better idea or any questions, e-mail me.

Stanislav.
