Bugzilla Bug 207985

milter-regex is a libmilter-based (sendmail/postfix/exim) mail filter which
allows you to accept or reject mail depending on regular expression matches in
any stage from helo to the body of the message, before it is queued.  See:
http://www.benzedrine.cx/milter-regex.html

milter-regex is available for the BSDs, but I can't find it in portage or in
another bug here, so I created an ebuild and am submitting it for inclusion
into Gentoo.  I'd be okay with being a proxy maintainer for the ebuild.

This patch is needed to fix a small bug in the example rules that come in the
distribution.

tabbed version

Here's a tabbed (not spaced) version.  Sorry.

I tried to adapt your ebuild but it cannot be build with bison (the younger and
better version of yacc, not to mention the fact that it is part of the system
packages). Today I enter in a mini-vacation, so I will not be able to work till
Feb the 11th. Maybe you could patch the parse.y till I return... 

I could not build it with bison, either.  It builds just fine with yacc, which
is what the upstream uses.  It's (obviously) easier to just have yacc as a
dependency.  I honestly don't have enough knowledge about bison/yacc nuances or
I don't even know even enough about what they're even doing to be able to patch
the parse.y on my own.  I am, however, able to take a bison-generated C code
and patch that to make it work.  I'll give it a shot, but I'm not sure I'll be
too successful in making it work.

milter-regex-1.7.ebuild try 3

fixed for bison, fixed DEPENDS, added comments for postfix, added
enewuser/enewgroup for "milter" user like sid-milter.

Makefile.linux-1.7.patch

makefile patch, to make bison output y.tab.* as other parts of the Makefile
expects.

Okay, with those changes, we should be good with bison and don't depend on yacc
anymore.  We're also more tolerant to non-sendmail users who use libfilter, and
we use our own "milter" user, which other milter ebuilds use.  The files
directory should contain these files now, which are attached to the bug:

files/parse.y-1.7.patch
files/rules-1.7.patch
files/milter-regex-conf
files/milter-regex-init
files/Makefile.linux-1.7.patch

Thanks!

Fixed in cvs, although not exactly in your way. Thanks!
