Description Jesús Guerrero Botella (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-27 17:15:35 UTC
dbmail won't compile without libevent so it should be included in DEPEND.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =dbmail-2.3.4
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
It breaks if libevent is not installed.

Expected Results:  
It should push libevent as a dependency and install successfully.

 This is the final part of the configure stage with libevent is not present:

[snip]
checking for mhash.h... yes
checking for event.h... no
configure: error: Could not find EVENT library.

!!! Please attach the following file when seeking support:

 = DBMail 2.3.3 released =
* libevent: the preforking code was removed and DBMail's server code was   
  rewritten around the libevent library. This means each DBMail server will 
  only run as a single process and will automatically use the best kernel 
  facilities available to provide multiplexed connection handling.

ok will sort this out soon. didn't notice as it still dev version and I mainly added it for people to be able to test it ;)
Comment 4 Thomas Raschbacher gentoo-dev 2010-03-28 12:36:00 UTC
just to update this quickly. i'll sort out the issues / upgrades for stable dbmail first since this devel version is simply not as important ;)
if i get some spare time however i'll gladly sort it out ;)
Comment 5 Thomas Raschbacher gentoo-dev 2010-03-28 20:44:16 UTC
i removed 2.3.X dbmail from the main tree. i will add it to my devel repo at a later point.
