sendmail-8.12.10nb2 added:
: 2) /etc/mail/submit.cf
: This file is not needed because we install it as:
: ${PREFIX}/share/sendmail/cf/submit.cf
:
: To avoid installing /etc/mail/submit.cf, I added to devtools/OS/NetBSD:
: define(`confINST_DEP', `')
Unless you're going to put it in ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}, this is WRONG.
submit.cf is *intentionally* customizable just like any other Sendmail
config, and thus should not be used directly from ${PREFIX}/share.
It does, however, belong with all other Sendmail config files, so unless
everything is moving to ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR} (including sendmail.cf), submit.cf
also belongs in /etc/mail.
Please fix this.
And:
: 4) /var/spool/clientmqueue
: This directory is not needed because sendmail is configured to use:
: O QueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue
:
: To avoid installing this directory, I added to devtools/OS/NetBSD:
: define(`confINST_DEP', `')
If you don't know what is wrong with this change, I suggest you go back to
Sendmail 8.11. Please revert.
