I'm not quite sure about what you want to say, but the last thing I'd like to do is to even give the impression of taking your effort and attempt to re-label it as mine. Also, I'm not too keen on working on a (competing) port when yours is already there, but only want to see/use an official port in good shape, whoever makes it happen. > They're subpackages, so they really don't need their own directory. Since I probably misunderstood the courier docs and what you've done, I didn't check out your courier package yet which I'm underway doing now, which may very well show that I'm working in the wrong direction (your http://shockley.net/OpenBSD/ page lists only a much older version). > I haven't tried patching configure_in and rebuilding configure, but > building courier-authlib works fine if you give it a numeric uid and the > user doesn't exist yet. Yes, that's what I understood from reading your port, but I wanted to make that UID stuff automatic and official, too. Requirements for creating ports seem to have tightened up quite a bit since the last time I looked, and eg. there's now an official list of UIDs and GIDs for OpenBSD ports which I'd like to comply with. > You don't have to worry about the user existing when you > build/install courier-mta, since courier-authlib is a dependency and > will create the user if needed. I'll look into this as well, but the extra package would hand that task to the ports system instead requiring the maintainer of the courier port(s) to hand-wire such things into the port. It should also be fairly easy to do. Best, --Toni++
