I had a hard time installing mgetty+sendfax this weekend. After all it
works with help of the mgetty mail list (in personam of Gert Doering, the
author) and I must say, not a very good impression of the FreeBSD
port is left.

The perl INSTALL script in ports/comms/mgetty+sendfax/pkg/INSTALL
write certain keywords into the wrong files.

The files concerned are mgetty.config and sendfax.config.

After the INSTALL script has run the following mess is in mgetty.config:


fax-devices cuaa1          -> sendfax.config
                              why empty line?
                              why empty line?
modem-handshake AT&H3      -> sendfax.config
max-tries 3                -> sendfax.config
max-tries-continue YES     -> sendfax.config
dial-prefix ATDT           -> sendfax.config
poll-dir ./                -> sendfax.config
normal-res NO              -> sendfax.config
verbose NO                 -> sendfax.config


And now sendfax.config:

port-owner uucp            don't belong into sendfax.config
port-group modem                     ditto
port-mode 0660                       ditto
toggle-dtr YES                       ditto
toggle-dtr-waittime 500              ditto
data-only NO                         ditto
fax-only NO                          ditto


Could the port maintainer please correct this?
