The following reply was made to PR bin/13759; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Matt Behrens <mbehrens@globaldsl.com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, s.moeding@ndh.net Cc: Subject: Re: bin/13759: Makefile for sendmail configurations Date: Wed, 06 Oct 1999 14:29:35 -0400 The ideas for automatically updating Makefile targets for aliases, mailertable, userdb, etc. are good ones (and one of the few ideas I'd actually *like* FreeBSD to borrow from Red Hat) :-) but IMO sendmail.cf->sendmail.mc is probably out of place here. There already exists a translation rule in src/etc/sendmail/Makefile that will translate .mc files to their .cf counterparts. To do this I created a new .mc file for my system (megaweapon.mc) and executed the following commands: # cd /usr/src/etc/sendmail # make megaweapon.mc # cp /usr/obj/usr/src/sendmail/megaweapon.cf /etc/sendmail.cf There is also an option to perpetually keep your sendmail.cf in sync with ``make world'', if you so desire. Read the Makefile for details :-) Otherwise, the changes look good. I would recommend submitting changes either as a patchfile or as a shar archive in the future, I had to go through quite a few hoops to look at your Makefile :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
