WARNING: See caution at the end of this bullet list.
* Update to exim-4.24 (bugfix release). * Wishlist patch for "eqi" incorporated. * Mark exim-{ldap2,mysql,postgresql,} as conflicting. * Substitute PORTREVISION for build number so that the version string hints at which version of the port the binary comes from. * Clean up POST-INSTALL-NOTES. * Install example scripts, especially upgrade converters, now that exim-old has been retired. * Enable DNSDB-style lookup support by default; it can be disabled with WITHOUT_DNSDB. * Simplify LDAP support, using various versions of OpenLDAP only. The old WITH_OPENLDAP[0-9][0-9] options are now invalid; use WITH_OPENLDAP and/or WITH_OPENLDAP_VER instead. * Retired exim-ldap port; OpenLDAP 1.2 is ancient. * Allow the operator to specify preferred MySql version with WITH_MYSQL_VER. * Allow the operator to specify preferred Berkeley DB version with WITH_BDB_VER; the old DB_LIB_VERSION option is now invalid. * Respect bsd.ports.mk defaults of MySQL 4.0 and OpenLDAP 2.1. * Allow the operator to specify default charset for header conversions, with WITH_DEFAULT_CHARSET. * Limit configure files to ${PREFIX}/etc/exim by default for security reasons; the operator may override this behaviour with WITHOUT_ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX. !!!WARNING!!! Some of these changes may cause trouble for folks who have a bunch of exim port tweaks in make.conf and pkgtools.conf. The ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX change may break existing deployments.
