Hmm, I must have fetched just before they disabled it. I changed PORTVERSION to 0.45.2 in the Makefile, ran "make sum" then the usual "make install" with appropriate options. This works for most ports provided that no additional files are installed, or code changes made that doesn't compile on FreeBSD.
Usually there is a line FORBIDDEN="reason" in the Makefile, just remove it before following the above steps. The port maintainer should ideally be someone following the Courier project, and hence update the port as new versions come out. However, as having been a port maintainer myself, it is sometimes not easy to get patches into the system. My port "radiusd-cistron" was marked forbidden due to a security problem, yet I had submitted a patch to update to a non-affected version 1 month before. The patch was eventually applied after a couple of months of people not being able to use the port and complaining to me in emails. So I am a little cynical about the speed at which the port will be updated. You can search the PRs to see if somebody has already submitted a patch, otherwise stick with a private patch until they get their act together. __________________________________________________ John Saunders -- ResMed Limited (OSA Group) 97 Waterloo Road, North Ryde NSW 2113, Australia.
