Description:   Opened: 2004-09-17 07:03 0000 
Hi!

Please add my, soon to be attached, ebuild for biabam, which stands for Biabam Is A Bash Attachment Mailer, which is a small bash-script for sending emails with attached files from the commandline.
The homepage for this tool is: http://mmj.dk/biabam/

I think it should go in the mail-client category.
It should probably also depend on the system having a MTA providing /usr/sbin/sendmail installed, but I don't know how to specify that in the ebuild. Isn't all MTA's in gentoo creating a softlink to /usr/sbin/sendmail?

The ebuild does indeed depend on bash (it uses bash specific things) but version 3.0 is not required, but was what I had installed on my test-system.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

------- Comment #2 From tklauser@nuerscht.ch 2004-09-17 07:09:54 0000 ------- 
You probably should add RDEPEND="virtual/mta" to the ebuild (as it needs a
binary in /usr/sbin/sendmail)

------- Comment #3 From Martin Ehmsen 2004-09-17 07:41:17 0000 ------- 
I know I could do that, but I just wanted a gentoo developer to tell if all
MTA's provide /usr/sbin/sendmail, and thus adding virtual/mta is the correct
approach.

Ebuild of new version of biabam

I've created an updated version of the ebuild for biabam. 
All relevant packages should be in RDEPEND.

------- Comment #5 From Andrej Kacian (RETIRED) 2004-12-15 06:05:02 0000 ------- 
Yes, virtual/mta is a correct approach, although not every MTA in portage
supports mailwrapper yet, especially those smaller relay-only MTAs. We're
working on it. :)

Just commited to CVS. Thanks

Cheers,
