Bug 2862 – Unnecessary source patch in procmail ebuild for default maildir

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description José Fonseca 2002-05-20 04:51:53 UTC]

Instead of patching the source for setting the default mailbox format this
should be done in /etc/procmailrc like:

        DEFAULT=$HOME/.maildir/

This way someone wanting to change the default mailbox format on a running
system can just do:
                grep -r "\.maildir" /etc/*

and easily finds all the spots where he should tweak, instead of dwelling into
the ebuilds and patches to figure that out...

Created attachment 1286 [details]
procmail-3.22-r2.ebuild

This is a new ebuild (modified from procmail-3.22-r1.ebuild) which does what I
suggested. I hope you agree that this is much cleaner and versatile. Please
apply.
