>Description:

    Now that FreeBSD has a rc.d style startup mechanisme, it seems
that the user should have the choice for port's startup scripts between
legacy /usr/local/etc/rc.d strtup scripts, and new rc-scripts style.

This should be acomplished in at least two ways :

1- Move the port's rc-script in /etc/rc.d (like NetBSD way)
2- Mix old and new kind of scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Based on the
    presence of .sh extension, old or new startup style is choosen. I have
    actually no spare time to patch and test /etc/rc.d/localdaemons,
    but I cant try it this summer.

    to come.

In the meantime, here is the postfix script, inspired from Luke's NetBSD one :

#!/bin/sh
#
# $NetBSD: postfix,v 1.7 2003/01/31 06:47:16 lukem Exp $
# FreeBSD 2003/03/17 XH

# PROVIDE: mail
# REQUIRE: LOGIN
# KEYWORD: FreeBSD NetBSD

. /etc/rc.subr

name="postfix"
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command="/usr/local/sbin/postfix"
procname=/usr/local/libexec/postfix/master
start_precmd="postfix_precmd"
start_cmd="${command} start"
stop_cmd="${command} stop"
reload_cmd="${command} reload"
configdir="/etc/postfix"
#configdir="/usr/local/etc/postfix"
required_files="${configdir}/main.cf"
spooletcdir="/var/spool/postfix/etc"
required_dirs=$spooletcdir

postfix_precmd()
{
   # As this is called after the is_running and required_dir checks
   # are made in run_rc_command(), we can safely assume ${spooletcdir}
   # exists and postfix isn't running at this point (unless forcestart
   # is used).
   #

   for f in localtime resolv.conf services; do
      if [ -f /etc/$f ]; then
         cmp -s /etc/$f ${spooletcdir}/$f || \
             cp -p /etc/$f ${spooletcdir}/$f
      fi
   done
}

load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"
