One of these has been keyworded -ppc since it comes in a x86 binary only. The dependencies are not necessary and probably should just be removed with a notice at the end of the install telling the user to install any compressors for file types they want scanned. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge amavisd-new 2. 3. Actual Results: One or more dependencies are masked. Expected Results: Merged amavisd-new kc8apf@kc8apf.net 2003-12-10 16:34:58 0000 Created an attachment (id=22005) Diff for the amavisd-new ebuild to support ppc kc8apf@kc8apf.net 2003-12-10 16:36:11 0000 With the attached patch and the keywording (ppc) of the following ebuilds, amavisd-new works on PPC. dev-perl/IO-Zlib-1.01 dev-perl/MailTools-1.58 dev-perl/libnet-1.16 dev-perl/net-server-0.85 net-mail/clamav-0.60 max@gentoo.org 2004-04-24 12:04:39 0000 I removed those optional compression dependencies, but I'll let someone who can test ppc add the keyword and close the bug. merlin@gentoo.org 2004-07-28 09:00:51 0000 I do not understand the problem with these compression dependencies. The compression utilities allow amavisd-new to scan more types of viruses/e-mails. To remove these dependencies severely reduces the affectiveness of amavisd-new. Furthermore, all of the compression programs listed in the diff are available from source code. Why are they not available for PPC? I am about to release a new version of amavisd-new and would like to add these dependencies back. kc8apf@kc8apf.net 2004-07-28 09:15:28 0000 At the time, at least one of the compression utilities was an x86 binary only. If all of them are available as source and the ebuilds for them are keyworded for ppc, then by all means add them back. Amavisd-new needs to be able to be emerged on a machine keyworded as ppc. Just make sure that is possible. merlin@gentoo.org 2004-07-28 10:33:57 0000 I brought the dependencies back in the new release. Please check it out, and see Bug 56233 for more details. There's some unmasking to do before this one goes stable.
