- Add patch to Mailman/Defaults.py.in, to correct path to lynx and various
MTAs.
- Change default $MAIL_GID and $CGI_GID values from numerical GIDs to group
names.
- Minor change to $PLIST to ensure clean deinstallation.
- Bump $PORTREVISION

- 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.
- Update $PKGDEINSTALL so that running Python processes beloning to mailman
user should be killed correctly upon port/package deinstallation, even when
the version of Python had been updated since the port/package was
installed.
- Fix a small oversight in $PLIST to allow clean package installations (i.e.
where there is not an existing mailman user) to set file permissions
correctly.
Should a user...
- use su(1) or sudo to gain root privileges in such a way that his own
environment is maintained, and
- should that user have the variable USERNAME defined in his environment to
point to his own username (not entirely unlikely), and
- should the user install the Mailman port and immediately deinstall it,
... his own userid will be deleted by $PKGDEINSTALL.
The short-term fix implemented here is to munge the names of the variables
used by the port's Makefile.
- Correctly list image directory in $PLIST, even if the user changes it from
the default.
- Add a WITH_APACHE2 knob and document it.
- Bump PORTREVISION

- 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.)
- Add a (non-standard) $PKGOPTS file (currently $FILESDIR/pkg-opts) to
document the user configurable build time variables supported by the port.
Add a target "options" to Makefile to display build time options in a human
readable format. Remove reams of comments from Makefile - superseded by
$PKGOPTS.
- Clean up the killing of running qrunner processes in $PKGDEINSTALL.
- Bump the $PORTREVISION. (Yes, again.)
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.
- Add a $PKGDEINSTALL script to allow the port to clean up after itself
- Automatically create Mailman user's crontab(5) entry upon port/package
installation, and remove it upon deinstallation.
- Intended $PKGINSTALL according to personal taste. Converted tabs to
spaces.
- Remove some extraneous comments from the port's Makefile. (Oops)
- Further streamline @exec's in $PLIST.
- Bump PORTREVISION
- The reworking of this port is an ongoing process - Mailman users, please
bear with me!
- Move creation of user/group from $FILESDIR/config.sh to $PKGINSTALL to
ensure they are created if installed from package.
- Switch to using uid/gid which are not yet registered in section 15.15 of
Porter's Handbook.
- Add @exec statements to $PLIST to ensure all necessary directories are
created with the correct modes if installed from package.
- Bump PORTREVISION.
- More to follow...

Mailman is software to help manage email discussion lists, much like Majordomo
and Smartmail. Unlike most similar products, Mailman gives each mailing list a
web page, and allows users to subscribe, unsubscribe, etc. over the web. Even
the list manager can administer his or her list entirely from the web. Mailman
also integrates most things people want to do with mailing lists, including
archiving, mail-to-news gateways, integrated bounce handling, spam prevention,
email-based admin commands, direct SMTP delivery (with fast bulk mailing),
support for virtual domains, and more.
