Description Leonid Kabanov 2003-11-13 03:27:04 UTC
There are 3 suggestions for amanda-2.4.4-r1.ebuild:
1. Both client and server installed by this ebuild. Yes, this may be controlled
by $myconf, but it's used by all packages so update of amanda must be done
separately from other packages. I think it is better to use USE flag for this.
2. net-mail/mailx appear twice in DEPEND. Also it already have virtual/mta in
its DEPEND.
3. sys-apps/mtx does not needed for amanda for successful instalation. It can be
safely installed after if needed. 


Reproducible: Always

net-mail/mailx is there because it needs to send mail and uses a binary from that package. Duplication removed.

I'm not seperating it out to client/server packages, there are lots of other bugs open on that matter, and for the moment the resolution on them is the same, we aren't doing that. that's a perversion of USE flags anyway.

I found it to need mtx in my situation, hence mtx remains.

This will be checked into cvs shortly.
