Bug 435452 – net-mail/dovecot net-mail/vpopmail Please (re-)keyword

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Eray Aslan 2012-09-18 19:35:52 UTC]

net-mail/dovecot-2.1.10 dropped x86-fbsd keywords because of vpopmail dependency via the vpopmail USE flag.  Please keywords both packages or mask vpopmail in dovecot.  Thank you.

[Comment 1 Naohiro Aota 2012-10-03 22:03:33 UTC]

Building with net-mail/mini-qmail-1.05 failed with:

configure: error: Unable to find your qmail-newu file, specify --enable-qmail-newu=/full/path/to/qmail-newu

!!! Please attach the following file when seeking support:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/net-mail/vpopmail-5.4.33/work/vpopmail-5.4.33/config.log

... and mail-mta/netqmail-1.05-r8 and mini-qmail-1.06 fail to build because of missing utmp.h. We need some patch to deal with FreeBSD's utmp change.

Ugh, this looks like a mini-qmail bug.  Bug it and have it block this one?

bug 353461 seems to be reporting the same bug. It's not bsd only stuff so please check if each virtual/qmail providers works with vpopmail-5.4.33 or not... I'll work to solve qmail's build error on FreeBSD.

I misspelled the bug number it's bug 363461

Even after bug 437386 get closed, there will be a tiny bug still remained.

FreeBSD's chown cannot handle "-R" after "root:0". It assume "-R" as a file path and cause error. This can be solved with this tiny patch.

I can't build (and test) with mini-qmail because of bug #398135.  In any case, vpopmail belongs to qmail herd.  You should open a new bug and assign it to them probably.

I am not going to spend much time on this.  As far as I am conceded, it is high time  for vpopmail to die.  It is nothing but trouble and belongs to the dusty crypts of history.

Already fixed in 5.4.33-r1.

*-fbsd is gone.
