While investigating bug 684958, I noticed that there are three unrelated flags enabled with USE=berkdb, if use berkdb ; then ... --enable-popauth --enable-query_cache --enable-stats As I reported on that bug, * It looks like popauth and query_cache do need BerkeleyDB. * POP-before-SMTP (popauth) is obsolete anyway, and can likely be removed. * The statistics can use any database, not just a BerkeleyDB. So, for a rainy day: * Drop the --enable-popauth entirely. * Add a local USE flag that enables the query cache. * Add a local USE flag "stats" that depends on some database being present (see how mail-filter/spamassassin does this).

The "--enable-popauth" flag was enabled automatically when USE=berkdb was set, which already doesn't make any sense. This was noticed while investigating bug 684958. However, "popauth" refers to POP-before-SMTP, which is an outdated and altogether ridiculous way of authenticating. No one competent has used it since the 1990s. Instead of converting it to an independent local USE flag, this new -r15 just drops it.

Note for the future: --enable-stats requires OpenDBX: configure: WARNING: opendbx is needed to import statistics into a SQL database - disabling opendkim-importstats and opendkim-spam
Added ebuild -r16 with support for new USE flags "querycache" and "stats".

In previous ebuild versions, these features were always enabled.
