            Bug ID: 193693
           Summary: mail/dspam: Merge mail/dspam-devel in to mail/dspam
           Product: Ports Tree
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: danny at dannywarren.com

The mail/dspam and mail/dspam-devel ports have fallen out of sync with each
other over the years.

There are useful changes that have been made to each port, so it isn't safe to
just slam all the changes over to one or the other.

Also, the upstream development of dspam has slowed to the point where the
mail/dspam-devel port is no longer necessary.

As has been proposed in several bug discussions, we should merge
mail/dspam-devel in to mail/dspam and retire dspam-devel.

I propose we accomplish that by:

* Starting with mail/dspam as the base, since it has had some cleanup work
committed recently
* Examine all Makefile changes to mail/dspam-devel made in the past several
years and determine which changes to port to mail/dspam
* Examine all open bugs in mail/dspam-devel and determine which are still
relevant 
* Rewrite any useful patches from above mail/dspam-devel bugs so that they can
apply cleanly to the current mail/dspam

This bug can be used as a central point for documenting progress until the
cleanup and merge is complete.
