>Description:

	py-kenosis-bittorrent contains a kenosis enabled version
of bittorrent thus making it a distributed application. The tracker
is no longer limitted to a single location but rather the tracking
information is distributed along the kenosis network. Therefore,
avoiding single points of failure. This is just a proof of concept
on what can be done with kenosis

	This application is based on the official BitTorrent client
version 3.4.2 (namely port net/py-bittorrent) and; thus, shares the
port code base, patches and installation procedures.  Therefore, I
would like the following repo copy to maintain this information.

	ports/net/py-bittorrent		->	ports/net/py-kenosis-bittorrent

	One question though, it installs the same files as
py-bittorrent; however, it's not exactly a drop in replacement since
it works the same way but it's kenosis related. Should I install
the script files in the same location as py-bittorrent (thus, adding
a CONFLICTS line) or in a non-standard location
(PREFIX/libexec/kenosis-bittorrent/)?
