It seems that RDEPEND="gnutls? ( dev-libs/libtasn1 )" needs to be added to the dependencies of exim-4.62. When building with USE="X gnutls ipv6 ldap pam perl sasl sqlite ssl -dnsdb -exiscan -exiscan-acl -lmtp -mailwrapper -mbx -mysql -nis -postgres -spf -srs -syslog -tcpd" I received the following error which went away after I installed libtasn1-0.2.18: gcc -o exim /usr/lib/gcc/i586-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../../i586-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -ltasn1 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [exim] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/storage/local/var/tmp/portage/exim-4.62/work/exim-4.62/build-exim-gentoo' make: *** [go] Error 2 !!!

CCing QA, I've had enough... Stop re-assigning the bugs to yourself only to keep ignoring them for ages.
Fixed.

I thought the whole point of the recent discussions on -dev, the Coc and the Proctors, were, in essence, to try and get people to be less territorial about their packages.

(I don't object to the work opfer: the fix is good thanks, but i'd have preferred it if you'd have spoken to me first.)

I believe leaving broken junk in the tree is against good developer etiquette. Stop moaning already, you had months to damn fix this yourself, you just didn't care.

It happened during a bug day, and as it was trivial (no objections raised here in the bug), I felt so free to change the ebuild. Normally I send out a notification afterwards, but in this case you reveived the mail about it through Bugzilla.
