I'd call the subpackage "eximon" and not "exim-x11", after all it contains eximon and its highly unlikely that anything else will ever go into this subpackage. > * Removed "WITH_OLD_DEMIM" from no_exiscan flavor. This exim condition > is deprecated; I wouldn't remove WITH_OLD_DEMIME as long as upstream supports the "demime" condition. Removing this feature might break existing setups. At least, there ought to be a hint in the MESSAGE file on how to replace the "demime" condition. There's a chapter called "Content scanning at ACL time" in the Exim manual that explains the demime" and "decode" conditions. > * Removed iconv flavor, whereby libiconv is changed from optional to > mandatory; I'd also remove the no_exiscan flavor. Firstly, that flavor comes from a time when exiscan was distributed as a separate patch. Secondly, removing this flavor won't break existing setups. Thirdly, I doubt that anybody uses the no_exiscan flavor. Everbody I know uses Exim because of its content scanning features. Personally, I'd also put all the other flavors into a single flavor called "heavy". Even if you are going to use LDAP only nothing will break if the PostgreSQL, MySQL and SASL client libraries get installed. Can OpenBSD's ports system handle upgrades from "exim", "exim-iconv" and "exim-no_exiscan" to "exim" and from all other flavors to "exim-heavy"? > * Use of syslog instead of seperate logfiles under /var/spool/exim/logs/. I don't like this change very much. I've always bothered that the log files aren't stored under /var/log/exim and, actually, I also use syslog, but this is a significant change and IMHO packages should try to keep changes as minimal as possible. For example, people might have set up scripts that monitor the log files stored in /var/spool/exim/logs/. At least, this change ought to be documented and announced properly. Kind regards, Andreas
