Alexey Dokuchaev (danfe) · 3.1.1_1
Unbreak GUILE option.  During generation of documentation, docstrings and other information is extracted from preprocessed (cc -E) *.c files using bundled clexer tool, which is part of GINT [1].

Under some circumstances (probably subject to the compiler, as the problem
does not occur on 9.3 and -CURRENT), ``arglist (SCM mbox)'' expression in
`mu_mailbox.c' becomes separated by the linemarker (# 470 "mu_mailbox.c").

Upstream maintainer believes that preprocessor is wrong, but might include
a workaround in clexer for this situation.  Meanwhile, just suppress line
markers with -P switch since they are normally ignored anyway.

- Do not pass ${PREFIX}/lib/${PORTNAME} to ldconfig(8), those shared   objects are loaded as plugins during runtime - Do not try to override MAKEINFO (does not seem to change anything) - Prevent `install-exec-hook' from calling chmod(1), this also fixes   warnings during Q/A stage [1] - Allow to build against Kyoto Cabinet

Alexey Dokuchaev (danfe) · 3.1.1
- Resurrect `mail/mailutils' port removed back in 2014: it is under   active development again and we have new maintainer for the port - Update to version 3.1.1, define LICENSE (GPLv3+), improve COMMENT - Drop `--disable-build-comsat' (not sure why it was disabled before) - Convert to option helpers; fix noticed pkg-plist issues - Strip binaries on installation; drop standard option descriptions -

- Return port to ports@, at the maintainers request (private mail in   response to a bug report); Attila Nagy is not using the port any more.

- Add/fix GUILE option (to make it build in Tinderbox) and fix the pkg-plist
  accordingly, so that the port now installs successfully and uninstalls
  without left-over files with default options (i. e. no options) and
  with GUILE enabled.

- Remove versions from LIB_DEPENDS.

WARNING: THIS PORT NEEDS MORE ATTENTION, known issues:

- movemail is reported to stall on messages containing NUL bytes in the
  middle of (body) lines

- enabling the PYTHON option causes pkg-plist breakage, missing
  bin/popauth, and other issues

- Note the upstream has released a 2.99.96 alpha/beta version earlier
  this year, but I did not have the time to review bug fixes and other
  changes.  It seems a massive overhaul, partial rewrite, though.

Mailutils is a swiss army knife of electronic mail handling. It offers a rich set of utilities and daemons for processing e-mail.

All Mailutils programs are able to operate on mailboxes of
any existing format, ranging from standard UNIX maildrops,
through maildir and up to remote mailboxes, which are
transparently accessed using IMAP4, POP3 and SMTP.
