incorrect installation instructions are displayed. This fixes that,
and makes some other minor changes.

inn-STABLE_2_2-1999-02-17_03-02
introduced new variable NEWSSPOOL, which points to news spooldir...
- can be fine-tuned in /etc/make.conf
- can be overwritten on the commandline
- defaults to /var/spool/news, when not set
- is set to /var/spool/news, when in port building (BATCH) mode
bugfix: tmp- and spool-dir have to live on the same filesystem, to avoid
this error:
"rnews: cant rename /tmp/36d24c3ehN1072 to
/var/spool/news/incoming/36d24c3eTg1072 Cross-device link"
Solution -> CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-tmp-path=${NEWSSPOOL}/tmp
added two comments "(from the author)", to reflect that I'm not personally
focussed on perl
Some (early) output in the pre-extract phase, to tell the admin, where
our news-spool will live:
@${ECHO} ">> building inn2 with NEWSSPOOL=${NEWSSPOOL}..."
Create ${PREFIX}/news and ${NEWSSPOOL}/news with proper permissions
in pre-install target
Since we took care about creation of spool-dir in pre-install, we can
now safely perform the ${MKDIR}'s in post-install target
${MKDIR} creates ${NEWSSPOOL}/incoming/bad and ${NEWSSPOOL}/incoming at the
same time, so save some CPU cycles
Fixed update target, manual pages will be compressed now by performing
a "compress-man" as well (we had "up to date" uncompressed and
old compressed manpages, which is kinda sub-optimal ;-)
Well people, I think now we have a real fine inn port.
I'd like to ask the inn port maintainer, if we should remove
inn, since it's a bit outdated.
The new inn2 offers many new features and you have the possibility
to change inn's runtime behaviour in config files, instead of
recompiling it.
Then I think, that the old inn isn't maintained anymore by ISC.
Thanks to the ports meister ;-)
The new features are really cool (cnfs,...).
BTW, why can't we use raw partitions for cnfs ???
Please read the file INSTALL carefully in the top level
dir of sources ... it explains installation step by step.
You still might have to watch for console messages,
complaining about missing file or directories (news.times
for example).
All in all. inn22 is really fun !
Use newly introduced %%PARL_ARCH%% for dirname of architecture
dependent libraries.
(i.e. s!%%PERL_VER%%/i386-freebsd!%%PERL_VER%%/%%PERL_ARCH%%!)

From the Home Page: The only changes from version 1.0b.0 are
XFace support and a few bug fixes. XFace support isn't enabled
in the port, didn't have the time and need.
