Description Oliver Eikemeier 2003-09-04 18:00:33 UTC
- use a rc.subr(8) start/stop script
  * Don't forget to add 'enable_exim="YES' to rc.conf(5) *
- contributed daily scripts 150.exim-tidydb and 460.exim-mail-rejects,
  analogous to 150.clean-hoststat and 460.status-mail-rejects
- replace literal '${PREFIX}' by the real prefix in generated documentation
- generate a default ${PREFIX}/etc/exim/configure
- stop exim when deleting the package
- bump PORTREVISION

one step closer to make exim a real sendmail replacement on FreeBSD:
a patch to sysinstall will be posted seperately

This seems to install files directly into /etc/rc.d on -CURRENT?  Isn't

I'm ambivalent about this change.  Folks who install to a non-standard
prefix using pkg_add will end up with docs that point to the wrong
location.

Your comments?

> - generate a default ${PREFIX}/etc/exim/configure

This means that Exim will magically start up the next time the
administrator boots.  I didn't want that, because the administrator must
first disable sendmail and/or adjust mailer.conf.

This desire of mine is at odds with the goal of making Exim available as
a sysinstall drop-in MTA.  That goal is important, so I'm happy for my
desire to take second place.

Ciao,
Sheldon.

That's true, but

- see the remark in /etc/rc.d/othermta

- dependency ordering does not work when the script is not
  installed in /etc/rc.d, so it is no sendmail replacement
  (it has to fulfil 'PROVIDE: mail')

But I agree that this is a point that should be discussed,
probably we can get the start/stop script in the base
system at src/etc/rc.d/exim, or find a general solution
that includes ports rc.subr scripts in dependency ordering.

Meanwhile, if you are not convinced, change the lines after
.if ${OSVERSION} >= 500038
to

RC_SUBR?=	${DESTDIR}/etc/rc.subr
RC_DIR=		${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d
RC_SUFX=	.sh

and you can change them back at any time.

They should be used to that, they have to cope with things like the default
location of the configuration file anyway. It's far easier to understand for
most people installing to the standard directories, and the average package
user probably does not know what their '${PREFIX}' is.
But that's noting I set my heart on. It's just an proposal, if you don't like
it, leave it out.

see above.

Not quite: they are missing 'exim_enable="YES"' in /etc/rc.conf

sysinstall does this in -CURRENT
