Re: Using extra patches with the ports collection and qmail-mysql - Found Solution
For anyone else wondering here is how the problem was solved. put the patch (name doesn't matter it just does them in alphabetical order into the /work/qmail-1.03 directory. Did a make patch, which resulted in an error but after editing the Makefile the compile worked fine.

I believe the name of the patch is significant. It =must= be called patch-somethingorother. I would follow the naming conventions of the patches already present. (I believe the patches are applied in lexical filename order). I don't know if you've named the patch correctly or not. Also, it seems that the patch needs to be adjusted to work within the context of its location in the ports tree. The very first things I see when I look at the patch are references to files in the relative path ../qmail-1.03-patched/ Since it would seem that neither that directory nor the files within exist when FreeBSD applies the patches, I doubt the patch is properly applied. :) As long as all other things are equal (but remember, Spock said "Things are not equal,") you should just be able to adjust the paths to the patched files to match their actual location. If things are not equal, you might have to make other changes to the Makefile patch (in particular) to get it to play nicely in the FreeBSD environment. It shouldn't be too hard, the patch looks quite compact.

Using extra patches with the ports collection and qmail-mysql
Here's the story... I'm trying to compile qmail-mysql with a new patch that I have found. We've got a test mail server set up explicitly for trying this. Did some googling and asked a question on here earlier about how exactly you get a patch to compile with the ports collection. The answer was to put into the files folder of the port you are trying to install. Well qmail-mysql did not have the particular directory but after looking into the qmail directory I found such a folder. (This is after doing a make fetch WITH_BIG_CONCURRENCY=yes and make extract in the qmail-mysql port). We put our patch into the /usr/ports/mail/qmail/files directory and then did a make install. Once that was finished and finishing the other tasks of getting qmail to work we find that the patch didn't compile. It didn't do what we thought it would do. So my question is this...what did we do wrong? Should the patch have been somewhere else? This is the patch we were trying to use: http://www3.sympatico.ca/humungusfungus/code/validrcptto.html Version of FreeBSD is 5.2.1.
