Hello. I am trying to install Dovecot 0.99.10.9 on a FreeBSD 4.10 system from the ports collection (latest via cvsup). When running make, I get the message: dovecot-0.99.10.9 Currently incompatible with security/gnutls This is in contrast to the Dovecot web page which states that it does support GNUtls and OpenSSL. I am not really interested in gnutls/openssl support at this time. Is there a way I can install this port without gnutls/openssl?. My apologies if this is not the appropriate forum but I couldn't find info. on the port maintainer. Thanks. V. Patel Chemistry & Biochemistry University of Texas at Austin

Thanks.Please read the FreeBSD documentation on the ports system, it is extensive and will explain such things. man ports, www.freebsd.org, the handbook all have information. In a nutshell, cd to the port directory (/usr/ports/mail/dovecot or such) and type "make maintainer", it's robin at isometry.net at this time. If you still cannot figure it out, write to the freebsd-ports at freebsd.org mailing list (maybe you'll have to subscribe first in order to be able to post, I don't recall). -- Matthias Andree Encrypted mail welcome: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95 (PGP/MIME preferred)

The GnuTLS port currently doesn't contain a couple of required entry points. The compile without GnuTLS, change to the port directory and issue the command "make config", uncheck GNUTLS, and proceed as normal. Alternately, delete the /var/db/ports/dovecot directory and its contents. On a related note, if you'd rather have dovecot-0.99.11, apply this patch: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=71563 Regards, - Robin
