Milter-greylist

Hello

Here is milter-greylist 2.0 beta6

ftp://ftp.espci.fr/pub/milter-greylist/milter-greylist-2.0b6.tgz
MD5 (milter-greylist-2.0b6.tgz) = 7f1f44ba56d34a5b1cfccc2c7319b29e

It has been more than a month since last beta, and only one bug was
reported (and fixed) by Martin Paul. In this beta6, I also tried to
address the problem of the man pages on Solaris. Please test that the
man pages are ok (not only on Solaris) and give me your feedback.

  Fix timing bug for messages arriving on greylist timeout (Martin Paul)
  Install formatted man page that can be displayed on Solaris

partially not ok
the installation procedure creates 4 files:
/usr/local/man/man8/milter-greylist.8
/usr/local/man/man5/greylist.conf.5
/usr/local/man/cat8/milter-greylist.0
/usr/local/man/cat5/greylist.conf.0

if you leave as it is, man pages are corrupt. 
if you delete /usr/local/man/man8/milter-greylist.8 
and /usr/local/man/man5/greylist.conf.5 it is o.k. 

so - on solaris boxes - it shouldn't be created. 

best regards 
hans 

p.s.: a splittet section for make installing 
      binaries and man-pages would be nice.

You mean it prefers unformatted man pages to the formatted ones?
Anyone has a suggestion on how to decide when the unformatted man pages
should not be installed?

I sent a patch for that and thought, it was integrated for 2.0b6.

yes

within SunOS the files under man/man? are typically of type nroff 

# file /usr/local/man/man8/mi* 
/usr/local/man/man8/mimedefang-multiplexor.8:   [nt]roff, tbl, or eqn input text
/usr/local/man/man8/mimedefang.8:       [nt]roff, tbl, or eqn input text
/usr/local/man/man8/mimedefang.pl.8:    [nt]roff, tbl, or eqn input text

and this brings a usable output:
nroff -man /usr/local/man/man8/mimedefang.8 

other os's have gnu-ziped man-pages, within redhat 
some of them are also of type nroff.
in this case man does the following:
gunzip -c /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz | nroff -man 

but i did never care about the nroff/troff formating stuff.

I fear that I might have missed that one. Can you resend it?

I mean: how the configure machinery could decide to not install the
unformatted man page? Just the return value of uname?

could be a solution. 
the value for solaris ( all plattforms and 
all versions ) is:  SunOS 

"uname" is equiv to "uname -s"  in the solaris-world.
