- Start using DIST_SUBDIR because of the funkyness of the patch names
- Tweak pkg-plist (duplicate @dirrm/@unexec rmdir, use DOCSDIR, etc.)

vulnerability.
- Add a file, installed to $DOCSDIR, with more explicit post-installation
instructions.
- Update $PKGMESSAGE to point to this new file.
- Add more explicit warnings in various places that MAIL_GID *must* be set at
build time if Mailman is to be used with an alternate (non-Sendmail) MTA.
- Bring port in line with other similar ports by NOT explicitly depending on
Apache. This is both more maintainable and allows the user greater scope
in setting up a custom configuration, including the use of an alternative
web server. (Also, Mailman _can_ be used without a web server.)
- Clean up which documentation files get installed to $DOCSDIR.
- Refrain from installing the GNU logo, which is not used by this port
anymore.
- Bump $PORTREVISION
Submitted by: Vivek Khera <khera@kcilink.com>, Neil Darlow <neil@darlow.co.uk>
- 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.
- 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
Submitted by: Jan Siml <jsi@jules.de> (Lynx dependency)
- 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
Submitted by: Volker Stolz <vs@lambda.foldr.org> (security issue)
- 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!)

- 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...
