>Description:
With the recent port update of mail/getmail from version 3.x to 4.x, there are
some important notes that should be included in /usr/ports/UPDATING regarding
configuration changes.
This is my first UPDATING entry, so feel free to make edits or reply back with
constructive critism :)

mail/getmail UPDATING entry below:
20041013:
AFFECTS: users of mail/getmail
AUTHOR: question+fbsdports@closedsrc.org
If you are using a version of mail/getmail earlier than 4.x and are planning
to upgrade to 4.2.2, please note that the configuration file syntax has
changed and the existing configuration file(s) will not work. Please refer
to the online documentation available at:
(http://www.qcc.ca/~charlesc/software/getmail-4/documentation.html)
If you already upgraded to the latest version of getmail, you can refer to
the installed documentation under:
%%PREFIX%%/share/docs/getmail
The 4.x branch of getmail also requires Python 2.3.3 or newer.
