Bug 152697 – app-crypt/gnupg should have a useflag mail

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description fabiolla 2006-10-24 13:37:39 UTC]

app-crypt/gnupg should have a useflag mail because
--enable-mailto         enable email keyserver interface only
is an optional feature (output from ./configure --help)

Current has gnupg-1.4.5-r2 an 'hardcoded' entry for mailto

econf \
                $(use_enable ldap) \
                --enable-mailto \

Use diffs instead of attaching huge ebuilds where noone can see what's changed.

Hmm, it's usual that ebuilds are attached to bugs.
To see whats changed - there are tools like diff, etc...

NAK on this change. The mailto helper is mostly deprecated by upstream, and additionally, your requirement of an MTA is incorrect. You need a /usr/bin/sendmail binary that can handle a -t argument, but that is all - there are a number of other that fill said requirement, and block installation of virtual/mta instead.

BTW Jakub is correct here. Accepted practice is to post a diff to each ebuild you are interested in changing, because then it can be reviewed directly on bugzilla, without having to download the ebuild, and diff it.

If it is a new package, then an entire ebuild is accepted (as it's the same as a diff against nothing), but otherwise please post diffs only.
