Revision Changes Path
1.60 +1 -1 ports/mail/procmail/Makefile
I was just about to grab the port, deprecate and set two months
expiration date.
Now that you're maintaining it I seek you to please let this
unmaintained unclean code from our FreeBSD ports world and deprecate it.
The code is unmaintainable, hasn't seen maintenance in a decade,
is hard to use properly because of its fall-through "error handling"
(actually nonhandling) behaviour, and should finally disappear.
Please add
DEPRECATED= use mail/maildrop instead
EXPIRATION_DATE= 2011-10-31
Even if there was a drop-in replacement, that seems way too early to let
people get it deployed.
Some initial searching shows that maildrop is a functional replacement
and can be used with sendmail's local_procmail feature, but the rules
are different. There could be other functionality which users depend
on, like formail, which a replacement might not have.
For now, a pkg-message for mail/procmail that suggests alternates, and
why, would give users some time to prepare.
