I would like to set up multiple instances of Mailman on a FreeBSD 7-
STABLE system with using Postfix. Looking at the ports Makefile, it
appears that if I set MM_DIR=mailman/vhosts/domain-for-this-instance
everything should work file (plus add FORCE_PACKAGE_REGISTER allow
this second instance to be installed.)
But when I do
% cd /usr/ports/mail/mailman
% sudo make -DMM_DIR=mailman/vhosts/lists.wilson-pta.org -
DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER install
It just installs in the default location, /usr/local/mailman
And this paradoxical report of various settings
$ sudo make MM_DIR=mailman/vhosts/lists.wilson-pta.org -
This could be a really stupid question (because I've never tried to do what
you're doing), but shouldn't the above line be:
$ sudo make MM_DIR=/mailman/vhosts/lists.wilson-pta.org
In other words, don't you have to provide the *absolute* patch to the install
location?
In addition, I would think you would need to change PREFIX as well for the port
to install where you want it to.
So, ISTM, you should be doing this:
$ sudo make PREFIX=/usr/local/mailman/vhost/lists.wilson-pta.org
-DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER install
rather than trying to set MM_DIR. Note you may *also* have to set MM_DIR, but
I'm almost certain you need to set PREFIX if you want the port to install there
instead of /usr/local/mailman.
The problem is, I'm not exactly sure *where* you want mailman to install, so
it's hard to be correct without more information.
