[Dovecot] FreeBSD port of Dovecot
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.

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@isometry.net at this time.
If you still cannot figure it out, write to the freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list (maybe you'll have to subscribe first in order to be able to post, I don't recall).

Viren,
It seems you configured the port to install with (experimental) GnuTLS support. 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
