Martin Wilke asked me if I am planning to update the port.  My original
intention was to wait for a 2.8.10 (I am aware of ports/128914, but, to
my regret, it contains no patch now), but as the quick fix I had ported
RedHat's patches to the current port version.

Please note that the handling of alerts had been changed: now all alert
configuration is stored in /etc/hp/alers.conf and isn't
user-controllable anymore.

And I had to mention that whilst I had tested the port for building
and daemon for starting properly, I have no real hardware to test the
thing.  So maintainer's testing is needed.
