Bug 62959 – net-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.2.8 -> idled missing?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stefan Briesenick (RETIRED) 2004-09-05 17:27:48 UTC]

I don't know, if this is an BUG of the ebuild or something else. I know from my SuSE days, that there's a daemon called 'idled'. 

net-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.2.8 installs /usr/share/man/man8/idled.8.gz
but no /usr/lib/cyrus/idled. strange... what happend?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Updated ebuild

I noticed the same thing today. idled really is a useful feature, and I don't
think people should have to resort to editing the ebuild to enable it. In any
case, installing the manual page for a feature not installed seems confusing.

I made a new version of cyrus-imapd-2.1.15.ebuild, which is what I have
installed, just to test out a couple of ideas. If someone could let me know if
I'm completely barking up the wrong tree I'd be grateful.

With the attached ebuild, if you have "cyrus-imapd" in your USE flags,
--with-idle=idled will be passed as a configure option, and if not,
--with-idle=poll (the current default) will be given. If the USE flag is not
set, the manual page is not installed.

If the new USE flag is set, idled is enabled in cyrus.conf, otherwise it is
left disabled - I'm not sure the approach I've taken to do this is the right
one though.

and now? nothing happend?

remind, remind, remind. ;-)

[Comment 8 Tuan Van (RETIRED) 2004-10-05 12:24:40 UTC]

there are 3 options for with-idle: idled, poll, and no. The attached ebuild doesn't cover all of them.

[Comment 9 Sven Wegener 2004-10-20 14:34:57 UTC]

I think a USE flag to choose between --with-idle=idled and --with-idle=poll is
enough since it is possible to disable IDLE poll support with "imapidlepoll: 0"
in imapd.conf. From the manpage:

This option is used when idled can not be contacted or when polling is used
exclusively. The minimum  value  is 1.  A value of 0 will disable polling (and disable IDLE if polling is the only method available).
