Bugzilla Bug 34316

A updated maildrop is available, this also appears to fix the gdbm-problems
mentioned in bug30449 (I had the same problem; but not with 1.6.3) - just
renaming the ebuild appears to work. :]

Created an attachment (id=27356) [details]
ebuild for maildrop-1.6.3

I wanted to experiment with maildrop and couldn't get it to compile cleanly
unless gdbm was installed. That wasn't exactly optimal so here's an ebuild that
works with the latest available version and configures correctly for gdbm and
berkdb.

Created an attachment (id=27357) [details]
Forces DB-3 to be used as DB-4 fails when running configure

Ignore that - damn thing won't work :(

Created an attachment (id=27358) [details]
This patch actually works for compiling against db-3

same here, had probs, 1.6.3 handles everything wonderfully :)
We're in may, would be nice to have it upgraded

uberlord: reading of your berkdb troubles, are you sure your libaries are
consistant?

could you please attach the output of:
ls -l /usr/lib/libdb*
ls -ld /usr/include/db*

I've had to rebuild my server after a nasty head crash, but I'm still using the
ebuild + patch mentioned above

Maildrop 1.7.0 is out.  if you rename the attached ebuild it installs fine for
me.

Fixed in CVS. Thanks very much everyone.
