At the time of writing, the latest version in portage is 0.3.8, which remains ~arch keyworded. Unfortunately, in the process of deploying altermime so as to ensure compliance with the Companies Act 2006, I found that it was unreliable in terms of adding a footer using the --disclaimer-html option. In some cases it simply fails to do the job, even with --force-bad-html specified. In fact, while succeeding with remarkably convoluted HTML, it fails on some surprisingly simple test cases such as an HTML-only email generated by Thunderbird containing minimal body content. Not only that, the program exhibited a nasty habit of segfaulting if --disclaimer and/or --disclaimer-html referred to non-existent or unreadable files. I bumped the ebuild to 0.3.10 in my overlay and am pleased to report that both of these issues appear to have been resolved. However, it initially failed to compile on my amd64 system. I will attach a patch which corrects this in an unintrusive manner. The instance of altermime in portage is evidently not fit for purpose. As such, I would be most grateful if an updated ebuild were to be committed at the earliest opportunity with a view to fast-track stable keywording.
