Update nmh port for 1.5 release

[kenh@…]

I've attached a Portfile for the new release of nmh (1.5).

One note: the previous nmh port (1.4) linked against the MacPorts version of cyrus-sasl2. I don't know if I specifically tested that back when the 1.4 version went in, but I tested that this time and I discovered that it does NOT work with Kerberos (the cyrus-sasl port doesn't work with the credential cache used by MacOS X).

I've been linking against the MacOS X-supplied Cyrus SASL libraries forever, and there have been no problems with it. So this Portfile does not have port:cyrus-sasl2 as a dependency. I kept in the dependency for openssl because that works fine.

Portfile for nmh 1.5

We would prefer to receive a unified diff instead of a complete new portfile; this lets us see what changes you are proposing.

You can't just remove the cyrus-sasl2 dependency, because nmh will still link with it if cyrus-sasl2 is already installed. Either leave the cyrus-sasl2 dependency in the port, or ensure that it will not use cyrus-sasl2 even if it is already present.

I'm trying to see how that would work, not linking against an installed cyrus-sasl2 ... the only way is to clear out configure.ldflags? Is there another way I'm missing? Or should I just mark nmh as conflicting against cyrus-sasl2?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Marking the port as conflicting would not be correct. The conflicts keyword is for ports that install the same files. nmh and cyrus-sasl2 do not install the same files.

For most programs, you would just provide a flag to the ./configure script. You're providing the --with-cyrus-sasl configure arg, which means "please use cyrus-sasl2". To tell it to not use cyrus-sasl2, you would presumably use the option "--without-cyrus-sasl". I guess the problem is that you want to use the system version of cyrus-sasl instead of the MacPorts version.

You're right that clearing the configure.ldflags would probably work. You might also have to clear compiler.library_path. But would these changes also affect the tls variant? If so, you would need to fix the tls variant so that it still uses the MacPorts openssl port.

Patch for Portfile for nmh 1.5

[kenh@…]

Ok, I've attached a patch for the current Portfile which I believe addresses all of the issues you brought up.
