The DSPAM 3.4 beta1 and beta2 ebuild has a typo in pkg_setup. The category is wrong. It should be mail-filter/dspam instead of net-mail/dspam. While looking at the ebuild I would suggest to change the way the ebuild checks for multiple database backends. What do you think about something like this: local multiple_dbs="0" local supported_dbs="mysql postgres oci8 sqlite sqlite3" for foo in ${supported_dbs} do if use ${foo} then let multiple_dbs="((multiple_dbs + 1 ))" einfo "Found ${foo} database support in your USE flags." fi done if [ "${multiple_dbs}" -ge "2" ] then echo ewarn "You have multiple database backends active in your USE flags." ewarn "Will default to MySQL as your dspam database backend." ewarn "If you want to build with another database backend; hit Control-C now." ewarn "Change your USE flag -mysql and emerge again." echo has_version ">=sys-apps/portage-2.0.50" && ( einfo "It would be best practice to add the set of USE flags that you use for this" einfo "package to the file: /etc/portage/package.use. Example:" einfo "\`echo \"mail-filter/dspam -mysql postgres -oci8 -sqlite\" >> /etc/portage/package.use\`" einfo "to build dspam with Postgres database as your dspam backend." ) echo ewarn "Waiting 30 seconds before starting..." ewarn "(Control-C to abort)..." epause 30 elif [ "${multiple_dbs}" -eq "0" ] then echo ewarn "You need to select at least one database backend in your USE flags." ewarn "Please enable one of the following USE flags:" ewarn " ${supported_dbs}" echo die "Database support missing" fi Something I never realize to understand is: Why is Robinson's geometric mean test active in the current DSPAM ebuilds? The README clearly flags this option as OBSOLETE and not recommended for production builds. Another thing I would like to be changed is the installation of dspam_stats: dspam_stats get's installed with "make DESTDIR=${D} install || die". Later the /usr/bin/dspam executable get's changed to 4755 but /usb/bin/dspam_stats does not get changed to 4755. Without changing dspam_stats as well to 4755, you will have hard time to allow the DSPAM CGI to display the statistics for DSPAM. I would as well like to see the notification messages installed as well. Could you please add something like this to the ebuild? # installs the notification messages diropts -m0775 -o dspam -g dspam dodir ${HOMEDIR}/txt keepdir ${HOMEDIR}/txt insinto ${HOMEDIR}/txt insopts -m644 -o dspam -g dspam for foo in ${S}/txt/*.txt; do if [ ! -f "$(basename ${foo})" ]; then doins ${foo} fi done Sorry for so much comments on the DSPAM ebuild. cheers SteveB Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Hi, Thanx for the suggestions. I've integrated bug#84639 which hopefully fixes your bugs. Thanx for the suggestions though.
