This is from the sysutils/smartmontools/ Makefile:

CONFIGURE_ARGS= --disable-dependency-tracking \
                --enable-sample \
                --with-gnupg=no \
                --with-initscriptdir=${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d \
                --with-nvme-devicescan=yes \
                --with-update-smart-drivedb=no

As can be clearly seen, the "update-smart-drivedb" ability has been
eliminated from the port. Why is that? I am unable to update the
database to include my HD, which is available. There is a
"/usr/local/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h " present; however, it is out
of date.

So, I guess my question is:

1) Why is the "update" procedure deliberately removed from the port?
2) What is the recommended procedure on FreeBSD to update this file?
