Is it possible to patch the source code in a port, and then make, make
install again to get it to install the patched code? I tried applying the
sendmail patch. I had previously installed 8.12.9 from ports.
This is basically what I did:
cd /usr/ports/mail/sendmail-sasl/work/sendmail-8.9.12/sendmail
patch < /path/to/patch
-patch confirms that it went successfully.
-I also edited version.c and changed the version number.
cd ../../../
make PREFIX=/usr
make PREFIX=/usr install
But the patch doesn't seem to be taking effect. After restarting
sendmail I:
sendmail -bt -d0.11 < /dev/null
and it tells me that it is still version 8.12.9.
Am I doing something obviously wrong? The compilation seemed to run
successfully.
