Main changes since 4.1.2:
Full virtual robot support ; you can now create 2 lists with the same name in
different virtual robots
Message topics : list messages can be tagged with topics. List owner defines
a set of topics for the list. List members can select topics and only
receive related messages.
Sympa is now VERP enabled
new return_path_suffix parameter in sympa.conf
new 'digest_max_size' list parameter. If a digest exceeds this limit, then
multiple messages are sent.
New set of web templates, CSS and XHTML compatible.
RSS channels are providing the following features :
* latest messages in list archives
* latest documents in web repository

developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
backslashes anymore. A single backslash is enough. Changed the
definition in all affected packages. For those that are not caught, an
additional check is placed into bsd.pkginstall.mk.
No need to bump PKGREVISION or something, this was harmless:
some directories were made twice while installing from pkgsrc (by do-install
target and by INSTALL script) and binary packages were safe because the
INSTALL script creates them.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
Too many changes and bugfixes to list here, see installed file
${PREFIX}/share/doc/sympa/NEWS.
Highlights of package changes: use regular PREFIX, pervasive use of
bsd.pkg.install.mk framework, add dependencies on mhonarc package and
openssl, use bsd.options.mk framework to select MySQL or PostgreSQL support,
introduce SYMPA_VARBASE to select "/var" directory
(defaults to ${VARBASE}/sympa).
Take stewardship with previous maintainer blessing.
XXX Better startup script(s) than the ones I use should be provided, so
I'm not including them in this package.
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
