distributed patches, and fix those that can't be used as is and supply them
in the patches directory. (Argh, most of the patches are relative to lib/,
others are relative to the top directory. bsd.port.mk can't handle this)
them however (newsgroups.patch) is relative to a different directory
than the others so I've left it out for the time being. I can fix this
by duplicating the entire do-patch clause from bsd.port.mk into the
Makefile so that different -d switches can be given for different patch
files, but that's overkill. Also, fix the md5 file as Satoshi pointed out.
(Translation: forgot to intialize the EXPECTK variable to {} so that if
expectk is not installed, it doesn't cause bad tcl syntax)
Pointed-out-by: several people
things like koi8-r recognition, background news (nntp) processing, ispell
support.
Note that there's a horrible hack here to work around a weakness in
bsd.port.mk. The distributed patches are relative to a subdir of ${WRKSRC}
and bsd.port.mk doesn't seem to allow clean overriding of that to patch.
I appended a second "-d dir" arg to PATCH_DIST_ARGS after the .include
that set up the string with +=. patch seems to use the last instance of
"-d dir" when there are several online (it's a simple parse-time chdir).
Prompted by: pst (who also sent a partial update)
for a complete list of changes.
Replace hand edited "official 2.0beta patches" from exmh web page with
the 2.0gamma versions (cannot use DIST_PATCHES, the patch files are not
directly useable due to pathnames etc). Each patch file is individually
documented.
Requested by: quite a few people
