Removed the post-install target and use MAN1 variable instead to compress the man page.431a47a646
The source distribution archive was changed right after my previous commit of the checksum file. (No change in version or release number.)252658c7ea
Changed the PKGNAME to include the release number (sort of like patchlevel) defined in fetchmail.spec. This should make it easier for users to see if they've got the latest port installed.204b63edc9
The source distribution archive has been changed. (V1.9 Release 9)dd20651433
CATEGORIES+= --> CATEGORIES= And clean up variable ordering (as shown in the handbook) as little.ad74428818
The source archive is changed again. (It may be helpful to change the version number portion of PKGNAME.)b0377c5990
tarball of the day, now at pl 6. This version will not invoke excessive numbers of sendmails for local delivery.f0b7b5849c
Seems like the tarball changed again. I'm also going to upload a tarball that matches this to ftp.freebsd.org so people can at least get a consistent version.b324040598
