exim: deprecate mysql5 for mysql51, add mysql56, mariadb as of #43431

Component: ports Version: 2.3.3
Keywords: haspatch Cc: mkae (Marko Käning)
Port: exim

Description (last modified by l2dy (Zero King))

Current version of Exim is 4.85. This updates Exim to that version.

Also, according to the recommendations in #43431 ...

  • mysql5 variant is a stub for mysql51
  • mysql56 variant has been added
  • mariadb variant has been added

I have tested all variants on OS X 10.9.5 and verified they work fine - including mysql4.

Any reason not to remove the mysql4 variant? Exim only uses this for lookups and the mysql5 libraries should be able to search a mysql4 server fine (save for the password hashing). I do not have a mysql4 server to test with. I could install one but I'm honestly not inclined to.
