https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198375 Bug ID: 198375 Summary: [patch] mail/opensmtpd Add option to not modify mailer.conf Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Keywords: patch Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ashish@FreeBSD.org Reporter: adamw@FreeBSD.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(ashish@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: ashish@FreeBSD.org Keywords: patch Created attachment 153939 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=153939&action=edit patch The OpenSMTPD port always modifies /etc/mail/mailer.conf. This makes installing it a destructive event---you cannot install it and tweak the configuration before making it live. To me this is a POLA violation, as other mail servers don't do that. The attached patch adds a new OPTION, and defaults it to on, to determine whether mailer.conf is written on installation. The end result is the same for binary package users. Also, the attached patch suggests a new COMMENT line... the current COMMENT line doesn't really say much and it violates rule #2 from https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-comment.html -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
