Bug 222737 – net-libs/courier-authlib-0.60.2-r1: Request for stabilization

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Hanno Böck 2008-05-18 22:41:36 UTC]

In the tree since 15.4., last stable is quite old. I'd like to get this stable before the next bump.

Sparc stable.  Couldn't we exercise the autotools a bit more? :)

[Comment 2 nixnut (RETIRED) 2008-05-19 19:20:31 UTC]

with vpopmail in USE and no vpopmail installed this happens on my ppc:

configure: error: /etc/lib_deps does not exist - upgrade vpopmail to the current version or fix the permissions on this file

!!! Please attach the following file when seeking support:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/net-libs/courier-authlib-0.60.2/work/courier-authlib-0.60.2/config.log
 * 
 * ERROR: net-libs/courier-authlib-0.60.2 failed.

After installing vpopmail the build succeeds. Looks like a missing dep.

comment #2: 
Seems like you're right.

Unfortunately, upstream dropped vpopmail-support with the newest release (a few days ago).
Hanno (reminder): We should print out a big fat warning when USE=vpopmail is switched on, at least in the upcoming ebuild.

[Comment 4 Hanno Böck 2008-05-20 10:19:54 UTC]

I've now added an -r1 ebuild which disables vpopmail. So archs, please continue stabilizing -r1.

[Comment 5 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2008-05-20 22:55:23 UTC]

Stable for HPPA.

[Comment 6 nixnut (RETIRED) 2008-05-21 18:32:53 UTC]

ppc stable

[Comment 7 Tobias Klausmann (RETIRED) 2008-05-22 11:43:02 UTC]

Stabled -r1 on alpha.

[Comment 8 Dan Coats 2008-05-22 16:11:04 UTC]

Hrm, so my mail server that uses courier-authlib with vpopmail is going to have what?

[Comment 9 Bernd Wurst 2008-05-22 17:36:31 UTC]

For the moment, you have to stay with what version you have now. But for sure, that's not a solution.

Upstream dropped vpopmail-support in the release following this one (0.60.4, released some weeks ago). As the whole dep-chain for vpopmail would block stabilization for this, we decided to actually drop it right now to get a working stable version for most courier users. The big breakage for courier and vpopmail would have come some weeks later, I think that cannot be a problem.


vpopmail-users should bother upstream for dropping this (mailing list courier-users at sourceforge) or switch to another authentication module.

[Comment 10 Markus Meier 2008-05-22 20:42:50 UTC]

amd64/x86 stable

[Comment 11 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) 2008-05-23 11:15:02 UTC]

ia64 stable

Probably switch to something that is supported. vpopmail is dropped by courier upstream (i.e. the courier developers) and they'll probably re-add it if anyone steps in and maintains it.

So you have two choices: Find someone to maintain it (you?) or switch to something else.

we're done
