>Description:
How the user should specify BDB_TYPE to make maildrop should be more clear (the Makefile doesn't say enough about this to be apparent instantly). Setting BDB_DEFAULT, BDB_ACCEPTED, BDB_TYPE to anything other than db1 doesn't work. The user must set BDB185_DEFAULT to db2, but if that's the only one acceptable, why doesn't this pkg just default to db2?
>How-To-Repeat:
make maildrop in pkgsrc-current
