I changed the setting in MacPorts' file from --with-mail-gid=_mailman to

"Unable to open port - invalid command name '--with-mail-gid=staff'".
You have a syntax error in your portfile. Perhaps you forgot to add the
backslash at the end of the preceding line. If you show us the modifications
you made, we made be able to be more precise.
Ok, got it. I had put a comment line directly above --with-mail-gid=staff to remind
myself what I had done. I had to pull that out of the "configure.args" block.
It also appears to work better if I abstract it a bit by using;
set mmgroup2 staff
then after the note to myself so I can revert if needed, change the
--with-mail-gid as below
#BC MOD was --with-mail-gid=${mmgroup} \
configure.args
--with-mail-gid=${mmgroup2} \
You can't do it that way because in the Tcl language, comments are extended to
the next line by backslashes.
You probably want to just put, in a section by itself:
#BC MOD was --with-mail-gid=${mmgroup}
set mmgroup2 staff
configure.args-append --with-mail-gid=${mmgroup2}
Bingo. That worked. No more errors.
Thanks!
