mail-mta/exim-4.66.ebuild

Proposed ebuild with support for DomainKeys (USE-flag "domainkeys"). Also added "mbox" to IUSE, since "mbx" and "mbox" are both used throughout the ebuild.

mail-mta/exim-4.66.ebuild

Slightly modified ebuild with support for Dovecot SASL (USE-flag "dovecot-sasl", like in mail-mta/postfix).

For DomainKeys support, libdomainkeys from bug #71501 is needed.

Hello.

Why don't we get this in portage? Its been 1 month since 4.66 has been released.

regards

because 4 weeks ago I was on a 2 week business trip, got home and my Dev box died, I've almost finished rebuilding it. I'd appreciate a little more patience,

Thanks

Colin Morey

No problem Colin. Just was curious....oh, and good luck with your dev box.

[Comment 7 Sheldon Hearn 2007-03-07 09:29:04 UTC]

Colin, you may find that the frustration comes not so much from the fact that you didn't race to chase a version bump, but that many of us have been waiting for Gentoo to enable Exim's libdomainkeys support for over a year now.  See bugs #71501 and #111729.

So I think patience is not something which has been demonstrated to be in short supply by Gentoo exim users. :-)

I hope things are going well with the recovery of your dev box, and that it's not costing you too much hair.

[Comment 8 Sheldon Hearn 2007-03-07 10:08:39 UTC]

Note that the build breaks for the most recent available openssl in portage, openssl-0.9.8e.

See exim bug: http://www.exim.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=478

I'll attach an ebuild and patch that address this.

Apply exim-4.66-openssl.patch.

[Comment 11 Sheldon Hearn 2007-03-07 10:12:27 UTC]

Note that the openssl fix applies to all version of exim in the portage tree.

But it's only needed by ~arch users, and them's what'll get exim-4.66 first. :-)

guys, exim 4.66 will be hitting the tree tomorrow afternoon,, the domainkeys patch will go in a package masked -r1, I'll update once it's in. 

Sheldon, thanks for your help.

[Comment 15 Colin Morey (RETIRED) 2007-03-12 18:35:31 UTC]

Sorry, the new ebuild is going to be delayed, i've hit some circular dependancies and I'm working those out first.

[Comment 16 Colin Morey (RETIRED) 2007-04-17 21:57:32 UTC]

exim-4.66 is in the tree, without domainkeys, domainkeys will be in exim-4.67 which should be in the tree tomorrow. exim-4.67 also contains the openssl patch.
This is just an update really, the only thing still outstanding from this bug is reload patch to exim.rc6

[Comment 17 Colin Morey (RETIRED) 2007-05-03 22:27:06 UTC]

reload added to tree along with stable exim-4.67 for x86, closing bug
