Bug 504392 – mail-mta/netqmail-1.06-r4 stable request

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description hal 2014-03-13 02:38:38 UTC]

See bug 504116.

[Comment 1 Michał Górny 2014-12-21 19:13:02 UTC]

<QA hat>

This is a trivial fix that doesn't come with any real backwards compatibility dangers. In fact, it improves safety of packages through replacing implicit dependency on private API of a medium-sized package by explicit dependency on small, dedicated package.

That said, 9 months (1.5yr in case of glibc) to apply the fix is definitely too long. Therefore, I'm setting a deadline on fixing the remaining bugs to 2014-12-27. If the bugs aren't fixed till that point, I will be committing simple 'sed' statements to replace the inherits.

</QA hat>

We are four months past the deadline now... :-/

Does someone have any clue where the file comes from, so we could fix it?

mail-mta/netqmail-1.06-r4 prepare breaks with USE="-ssl"

ERROR: prepare
ERROR: mail-mta/netqmail-1.06-r4::gentoo failed (prepare phase):
  (no error message)

Call stack:
    ebuild.sh, line 124:  Called src_prepare
  environment, line 3034:  Called die
The specific snippet of code:
          sed 's~^--- ../../~--- ~g' < "${DISTDIR}"/${QMAIL_TLS_F} > "${T}"/${QMAIL_TLS_F} || die;


I would suggest adding a condition around this line of code.
