Description Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-01-12 06:14:33 UTC 
The current exim ebuild always includes perl and mbox support :

EXIM_PERL=perl.o
SUPPORT_MBX=yes

Since we have the "perl" and "mbox" USE flags, the ebuild could be modified to conditionally include Perl and MBOX support, as they are not always needed.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
USE="-perl -mbox" emerge exim
Actual Results:  
exim included Perl bindings and mbox support.

Expected Results:  
exim should not include Perl bindings and mbox support.
