incarnation of ports/Mk/bsd.autotools.mk on the road to bringing
at least some semblance of sanity back to this corner of the
ports collection.
By far and away the easiest way to see the changes will be to
view the new file once committed, but here is a summary of the
changes:
1. USE_LIBTOOL, USE_AUTOCONF, USE_AUTOHEADER, USE_AUTOMAKE have
been fully deprecated. Ports attempting to use these variables
after the commit will error out, and most obviously break INDEX
generation, with a helpful error message. Instead, ports must
now specifically choose the version of any of these tools that
they need with the corresponding USE_*_VER variables. Note that
these variables understand any and all versions of autotools ports
in the tree, there is no longer a need to have specific version
numbers hardcoded in the infrastructure of bsd.autotools.mk
(as there is now). In particular, this will immediately open up
automake18 and autoconf259 for general use and beating.
2. Similarly for WANT_LIBTOOL, WANT_AUTOCONF, and WANT_AUTOMAKE.
Again, these have been fully deprecated, and the equivalent
WANT_*_VER versions should be used.
In order to preserve existing behavior for these variables, please
note the 20040314 entry in ports/CHANGES for the appropriate
version numbers to use for any ports in the GNATS queue.
Both WANT_* and USE_* bring in the relevant tool as a build
dependency, and set up a reasonably large number of variables
pointing to the right programs to be using in the port. The
only difference at the moment, is that USE_* will run an extra
autotools-related configuration step, whereas WANT_* merely
requests the environment.
3. The helper knob USE_LIBLTDL has been added which currently
simply adds a LIB dependency on the libltdl port.
4. Three new variables have been introduced,
WANT_{LIBTOOL,AUTOCONF,AUTOMAKE}_RUN=yes. These variables will
do nothing by themselves (a Work-In-Progress), but if the
appropriate autotool version is defined (either through
WANT_*_VER or USE_*_VER), this will add the relevant dependency
to RUN_DEPENDS.
Steps 3 and 4 now essentially negate the need for any kind of
direct dependency within a non-autotools port Makefile on
devel/autoconf*, devel/automake*, devel/libtool*, and devel/libltdl.

non-commercial distribution/mirroring of the original source
files. But as long as it's the only thing permitted, mark
the port as NO_CDROM and NO_PACKAGE, instead of RESTRICTED.
o Fix some buglets and port framework usage issues:
- The file milter-sender.mc doesn't belong to docs. Installing
its reference copy along with the working copy is better.
- Make use of the exported BSD_INSTALL_* environment variables.
- Change access permissions only on needed files.
- Take care of file access permissions when installing
from the package.
- daemon(8) will take the program to the background, but it cannot
change the current directory to anywhere but the root. Since
getting a core file might be useful, cd to a directory writable
by the milter-sender process just before starting it.
- Review the messages: improve grammar, remind to reinstall
sendmail.cf as well (rebuilding it alone isn't enough.)
Changelog:
* New Features and Improvements *
- Added install.sh script for tar distribution which builds all Perl modules,
tnef decoder and MailScanner automatically.
- Added configuration option "Dangerous Content Scanning" to allow you to
disable all the content scanning except for the virus scanning.
- Added support for Vexira virus scanner.
- Implemented support for F-Secure 4.61.
- Implemented support for Nod32 2.01. If you are still running 1.99, you
will need to edit /etc/MailScanner/virus.scanners.conf.
- Reports can now contain %variables% such as %org-name%.
- Changed default installation location of Bitdefender to /opt/bdc.
- Upgraded tnef to latest release from sourceforge.
- Moved ExtUtils::MakeMaker into list of normal perl modules to install.
- Linux distributions now auto-detect MTA setting in /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner.
- Can now detect very small images in a message, that may be "web bugs" to
track you. These can be disarmed if you want.
- Changed documentation to just list single-instance version of Postfix.
- Changed init.d scripts to work well with both single and double instance of
Postfix.
- Improved init.d script to support SuSE 9.1 properly.
* Fixes *
- Forced AVG to run in English.
- Corrected problem with negative failure counts from RBLs and SA.
- Fixed bug in LDAP ruleset handling.
- Sendmail code now auto-detects the correct lock type to use, flock or posix.
- Sendmail qf files no longer have to define an IP address.
- Corrected report when archive is nested too deeply.
- ZMailer forwarding fix provided by Mariano.
- Fixed Postfix message corruption on recent Postfixes on some architectures.
- Worked around latest tweaks to Postfix spec.
- Fixed problems with PDF docs when signing messages.
