mail/postfix-dovecot2 slave

Add a slave port for mail/postfix with dovecot2 option selected.
Quick postfix+freebsd Google query suggests that this is a common setup.

This is the only holdout from being able to use official binary packages
on several of my email systems.

[patch] dovecot is supported out of the box

After study the postfix HISTORY and knowing dovecot is not needed to build dovecot SASL support I will commit something like the new patch.

At the moment my main issue is to find good short SASL_DESC so users are to much confused about the removal of the DOVECOT(2) OPTION.

Additional help for SASL will be provided via pkg-help, there we have the ability to write more text the in the ${OPTION}_DESC line.

Let me know what you think, any help with better wording is welcome.
Comment 5 Nikolai Lifanov 2016-02-15 01:32:25 UTC
I love this approach. As a note, in CentOS, postfix package comes with both Cyrus and Dovecot SASL support enabled:

$ postconf -a
cyrus
dovecot

If Cyrus SASL doesn't generate additional compile-time dependencies, can we enable this also? If not, Dovecot option would suit most users.
I am able to test the new package with Dovecot 2.
Comment 6 Olli Hauer freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-02-15 04:45:48 UTC
Providing Cyrus support requires libsasl2.so (security/cyrus-sasl2).
Unfortunately this is also on postfix-current not modular like cdb,pcre,*sql and a reference to libsasl2.so is linked into most every postfix binary.
Comment 7 Nikolai Lifanov 2016-02-15 05:13:57 UTC
I thought as much (about Cyrus). Please proceed with your plan of enabling Dovecot support universally. Could you also bump port revision so that official packages are rebuilt?
Comment 8 Nikolai Lifanov 2016-02-15 05:21:31 UTC
Also, tiny nit about patch: HISOTRY should probably be HISTORY.

mail/postfix: reroll ohauer's patch

This is just like the other patch attached to this PR, but rerolled to apply cleanly to mail/postfix (instead of -current).
One minor content change: s/always build in/always built in/.
Comment 10 Nikolai Lifanov 2016-02-16 21:08:23 UTC
The patch against mail/postfix that I posted passes "poudriere testport" and is currently running on one of my MTAs, sending and receiving mail with Dovecot 2 SASL.

Author: ohauer
Date: Thu Feb 25 20:09:57 UTC 2016
New revision: 409551
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/409551

Log:
  - rework SASL OPTIONS
    Dovecot SASL does not need any dependency, from now it will be always build into postfix
    and the default SASL unless Cyrus is also added (there is no conflict between them)

  - add support for FreeBSD 10.3 mailwrapper (install mailer.conf into LOCALBASE/mail instead /etc/mail)
  - add better reload support to rc script
  - display correct path in pkg-message
  - add support for postfix-sasl slave port
  - bump PORTREVISION

  Many Thanks to all testers!
