Log message:
Remove net/packit
Our packaged 1.0 version seems to be the last one that can be fetched
from upstream, which is long dead; HOMEPAGE http://packit.sf.net points
to a generic corporate stub.
FreeBSD packages an "updated" version, see
https://github.com/resurrecting-open-source-projects/packit/blob/master/ChangeLog
which effectively is the old source could with all readily available
distribution patches from Debian, Gento, etc. applied on top; other than
that there's no development, the project README explicitly asks for help
from actual developers to keep such life support running.
Since noone could be bothered with updating our port since at least 2016,
I doubt there's much interest.
packit is a mixture of tcpdump(1) and scapy(1), it's synopsis uses every
letter (upper and lower) of the alphabet and IPv6 is not supported at all
(not even printing captured packets).
Basic tests showed no output when capturing on lo(4) devices.
tl;dr: There's little to no value in beating a dead horse.
OK solene
