Description:   Opened: 2004-12-06 16:19 0000 
Debian currently has 8.1.2-0.20040524 in unstable:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/mail/mailx

Gentoo's mailx is 8.1.2.20021129, which doesn't support the -a option (and
probably lots of other missing fixes)

I'm not sure at this point whether it's better to get the upstream OpenBSD
sources and patch them for Gentoo, or get the Debian sources and patch them for
Gentoo.  I haven't looked at the Debian patch carefully enough yet to determine
if it contains things that are interesting to us.

this version isn't working under an hardened (grsecurity) system which disallow
elf text relocations! I was asking myself why there exists a virtual/mailx
category although there are no alternatives to the debian mailx client.

Actually i'am trying to update the existing 2002 ebuild to work with the 2004
cvs branch!

There is net-mail/nail, which also provides virtual/mailx...

mailx bumped in CVS.

Cheers,
Ferdy
