- Use MAIL_GID of 26 (mailnull) instead of 1 when installing Mailman to work with Sendmail, if on a recent $OSVERSION. (Whoops!) - Submitted by: Richard Kiss <kiss@hhn.com> - Clarify $PKGMESSAGE and output of $PKGDEINSTALL somewhat. - Correctly handle Mailman config file (mm_cfg.py) in $PLIST when deinstalling port/package. - Bump PORTREVISION again.

Mailman has been installed, but is not quite ready to be used yet!
You need to configure both Mailman and your MTA to integrate with each
- Add missing $CONFIGURE_ARGS. (Whoops again!) - Actually install the images for Mailman's web front-end to ${PREFIX}/www/icons, instead of depending on the user to do this in a post-installation step. Add a new build-time variable to control the location where these images are intstalled. - Gratuitous change: Change the GNU logo and link in the footer of most pages in Mailman's web front-end to a "Powered by FreeBSD" logo, and a link to the FreeBSD home page. This was accomplished by: - Patching the source to allow for multiple footer bars based on a new configuration variable LOGO_OS. If LOGO_OS is set to 'FreeBSD', the FreeBSD footer will be displayed; otherwise, it reverts to the default GNU footer. - Set LOGO_OS to 'FreeBSD' in the installed Defaults.py (The user may override this in mm_cfg.py) - Bump $PORTREVISION again. (Sorry guys.)

other. At the very least, you'll need to create these aliases:
- Interim update to version 2.0.8 (which contains important security fixes), maintaining most of the port's existing structure. A more comprehensive restructuring of this port is in the works. - Assume maintainership, pending any objections from -ports.

- Overdue update to version 2.0.13, a minor bugfix release - Refrain from invoking ${PERL} - Call Mailman's distributed check_perms script post-installation to fix file permissions instead of doing so manually. This is more modular and will greatly ease maintenance of the port. It implies a level of trust in check_perms... but then, installing and running any 3rd party software implies a level of trust.

Remember to reload your mail aliases if required, and to restart your httpd!
- Update author's email address in $DESCR. - Update $PKGREQ to depend explicitly on Python >= 2.1.3, and not just >= 2.1 - Document required value of $MAIL_GID for Exim4. - Substantial rewrite of $PKGINSTALL: - Simplified layout. - More extensive error checking. - More expressive and user-friendly output. - Substantial rewrite of $PKGDEINSTALL: - Simplified layout. - More expressive and user-friendly output. - Delete %%MAILMANDIR%%/data/last_mailman_version in DEINSTALL, and restore it in POST-DEINSTALL if the entire Mailman installation has not been removed. This file is required by Mailman's update script (run as part of the installation procedure) to update active mailing lists. - Delete the errorlog if it is the only existing logfile. This will finally allow the mailman port/package to be completely and cleanly deinstalled when there are no active lists or updated configuration. - Bump $PORTREVISION, with apologies to those tracking the port. It should now finally be possible to update a Mailman installation with active mailing lists simply by deinstalling the port/package, and reinstalling a later version (or by using portupgrade(1)). There are still no guarantees, though, and a backup is thorouhly recommended.
