First, I apologize for sitting on my attempt so long, work got busy.
But just now I did a diff between your result and mine, and some notes:
- I added a CONFLICTS?= ${PORTNAME}-1.0.* because using portupgrade
on other ports such as postfix tries to pull in dovecot-1.0 as a runtime
depend whether or not 1.1 is already installed and that makes a mess. I
also added a similar line to the dovecot 1.0 port, which was probably
the more important place.
- Otherwise, you port looks extremely similar in important functionality
to mine. Although one of the reasons I did not submit it earlier was I
had hoped to add an OPTIONS entry and appropriate pkg-plist support for
some of the newer optional support offered by 1.1, but I don't use any
of them myself. Its probably better to have a dovecot 1.1 port even
without that part done.
