The patch in the PR is by no means sufficient. I already spent too
much time tidying things up...to note a few:
- an important patch got lost which installed the man-pages
- the plist wasn't updated
- packaging doesn't work correctly because some files in the plist
get removed (/var/spool/postoffice) that are not generated when
installing from the port instead of the package.
- FreeBSD has the possibility of running post-installation-scripts,
which is just what this port needs. It's just a matter of
spending time to make it work correctly.
- it installs empty directories, e.g. $PREFIX/sbin/bak.
Even then, I'll probably wait with committing the changes until I can
find someone who actually runs this stuff as there is no maintainer who
can vouch for it. Would you like to become the maintainer for it?
Cheers,
Volker
