Description Linh Pham 2004-10-13 18:10:28 UTC 
With the recent port update of mail/getmail from version 3.x to 4.x, there are
some important notes that should be included in /usr/ports/UPDATING regarding
configuration changes.

This is my first UPDATING entry, so feel free to make edits or reply back with
constructive critism :)

Fix: 

mail/getmail UPDATING entry below:

20041013:
  AFFECTS: users of mail/getmail
  AUTHOR: question+fbsdports@closedsrc.org
  
  If you are using a version of mail/getmail earlier than 4.x and are planning
  to upgrade to 4.2.2, please note that the configuration file syntax has
  changed and the existing configuration file(s) will not work. Please refer
  to the online documentation available at:
  
    (http://www.qcc.ca/~charlesc/software/getmail-4/documentation.html)
    
  If you already upgraded to the latest version of getmail, you can refer to
  the installed documentation under:

    %%PREFIX%%/share/docs/getmail

  The 4.x branch of getmail also requires Python 2.3.3 or newer.
