Bugzilla Bug 232277

Hi,

imapsync refuse to start and even display help with version of
dev-perl/Mail-IMAPClient version 3.xx
Even the latest version 1.255 failed.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install/upgrade Mail-IMAPClient to version 3
2. install imapsync
3. run imapsync 

Actual Results:  
stromboli ~# imapsync 
Subroutine Authuser redefined at /usr/bin/imapsync line 2564.
imapsync needs perl lib Mail::IMAPClient release 2.2.9 exactly, future imapsync
release may suppoort 3.0.x, but sorry not now. See file BUG_IMAPClient_3.xx
# Looks like your test died before it could output anything.

Expected Results:  
help should be displayed

Note that a revbump of the imapsync-1.255 ebuild changing one line will fix
this:

24c24
<       >=dev-perl/Mail-IMAPClient-2.1.4"
---
>       =dev-perl/Mail-IMAPClient-2.2.9"

Raúl: Why did you mark the Mail-IMAPClient version stable? There's no
stabilization bug, I don't see that we had a second pair of eyes looking, if
stabilization is fine.

No, it doesn't. It's stable tree breakage.

Even if the newer Mail-IMAPClient were *not* marked stable, this would break
those who use the unstable Mail-IMAPClient.  imapsync *mandates* a specific
version, so the ebuild needs to specify that version exactly.

Reverted to ~arch.

revbumped to -r1 with a fixed dep on "=dev-perl/Mail-IMAPClient-2.2.9".

As for the stable b0rkage we would need x86 to mark imapsync-1.255-r1 stable,
cc'ing x86 therefore. 1.255 has been in portage for less than the usual month,
do what you think is appropriate here. Thanks!

Its not stable anymore :P No need to do anything here for x86

Any objections to close this one then? 

Nope
