I wasnt sure where to put this - hopefully it will reach the teapop maintainer. 0.3.7 of teapop has a bug. I located this bug via user emails in MantisBT which creates the occasional crlf at the end of header lines instead of jus LF. I believe this only affects Maildir users. I got onto the teapop-users list, and Ibrahim Khalifa helped me find the problem, then provided the fix. I created a patch and had no problem after re-emerging with the patch in place. As this is my first time placing a patch in the ebuild, my patch might not be done correctly so I'll supply the message from ibrahim below. And then after asking him if i could supply this as a patch to the gentoo teapop maintainer, he provided me with the second article here. ----------------------------------- Edit pop_maildir.c and change the following (from line 192): if ((i > 0 && minfo->buf[i-1] == '\n') && (i < 1 || minfo->buf[i-2] != '\r')) { curmsg->size++; curmsg->lines++; } to if (i > 0 && minfo->buf[i-1] == '\n') { if (i < 1 || minfo->buf[i-2] != '\r') curmsg->size++; curmsg->lines++; } Then recompile by running "make" and install the new binary. Let me know if this helps. -------------------------- Hi, We will be preparing a new release which includes this fix. So you can either send this fix or wait a day or two and tell them about 0.3.8. =) //Ibo On Fri, Nov 21, 2003 at 01:40:54PM +1300, Rasheed Abdal-Aziz wrote: > PERFECT! :) > > Im a gentoo user. Mind if I submit the patch to the teapop maintainer? > --------------------------------- Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Created a Bug in MantisBT and assigned it to a mantis user 2. That creates an email that is visible in their maildir 3. User attempts to retrieve from teapop Actual Results: User cannot retrieve from teapop - teapop disconnects when attempting to read the file. I think the disconnection is because teapop realises that it has a buffer overrun situation? Expected Results: It should work, and does with the patch applied.
According to the TeaPop website, version 0.3.8 has been out since November 27, 2003. This package just needs a version bump to fix this bug (and we should probably get rid of the old versions). I tested the lastest ebuild (0.3.7-r1) as 0.3.8 and it unpacked/compiled/installed fine. On another note, java support seems to be broken within the ebuild. Java support was added in 0.3.7-r1. It's not enough to specify --with-java, you need to give it a directory. I moved java to $myconf, and java was left out of IUSE! Attached is the fixed 0.3.8 ebuild. I'd say the only possible issue is, is it ok to put $JAVA_HOME in an ebuild? The application should have picked it up anyway, but it doesn't appear to be that smart.
Created attachment 33242 [details] teapop-0.3.8.ebuild
teapop-0.3.8 now in portage... please test :)
