I'm attempting to install procmail, a ported package. I picked up the complete contents of the 'ports' directory for procmail as supplied at wcarchive.cdrom.com, and have re-created it on my home system in /usr/ports/mail/procmail/ I obtained the procmail.tar.gz package from: ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/packages/procmail which happens to be procmail-3.10 I exploded procmail.tar.gz in /usr/ports/distfiles/procmail-3.10/ This is the location as listed in the (ports) Makefile: MASTER_SITES= ftp://ftp.informatik............... This (ports) Makefile is looking for 'procmail-3.11.1' So, my main question is, will it work? 3.11.1 & 3.10 I ran 'make install |& tee procmail.log', and the log said it could not find 3.11.1. FreeBSD was also trying to find 3.11 at a few ftp sites. In a second attempt, I placed procmail.tar.gz in my local ftp partition, and edited the (ports) Makefile to look there: MASTER_SITES= ftp://localhost/pub/packages/procmail/ I only have a regular Dial_up unix shell account, so I changed the MASTER_SITES value to reflect MY ftp site. Should work, right? If the ports 3.11.1 files Will work with procmail-3.10, should I also edit the (ports) Makefile, changing the 'PKGNAME=' & 'DISTNAME=' to represent 3.10 ? PKGNAME & DISTNAME are currently labeled as procmail-3.11.1 & procmail-3.11pre1 respectively. One side note, procmail is not available in: wcarchive.cdrom.com:/.3/FreeBSD/incoming Thats the only 'incoming' I could get into, there was one other, but I was denied entry. I'm asking this, the above, as I will no doubt be installing other ports in the near future.
