Description Mark 2007-05-22 06:52:15 UTC
Mail::SPF is an option for spamassassin, please add an ebuild.
It has the same homepage as dev-perl/Mail-SPF-Query which is already in portage:
http://search.cpan.org/~JMEHNLE/

Reproducible: Always

Use app-portage/g-cpan to install it; thanks.

From http://www.openspf.org/Implementations:
...
Mail::SPF: An object-oriented Perl module that supersedes the old Mail::SPF::Query module. It supports both SPFv1 (v=spf1) and Sender ID (spf2.0) and is very thoroughly documented.

I think this module is a must have in portage! It supersedes
the Mail::SPF::Query module.

Please reopen this bug!

Plaese, please reopen this bug!

The new Mail::SPF Perl module is a successor to the old Mail::SPF::Query module, which was the very first SPF implementation and evolved in parallel with the specification over time, thus having a baroque design and many smaller problems and incompatibilities with RFC 4408. Mail::SPF is a complete object-oriented rewrite and conforms fully to RFC 4408. It also is very thoroughly documented and finally supports IPv6 as well as both the DNS TXT record type and the new SPF record type.

I have created a ebuild for it and it is here in the Bugzilla system. But I don't think the ebuild will go into portage. Only ebuilds which are dependencies of other ebuilds will be added. All other Perl packages needs/can be installed with app-portage/g-cpan
