Bug 70584 – ixbiff-0.03b (New Package)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joe Sapp (RETIRED) 2004-11-09 07:50:19 UTC]

Ixbiff is just a simple little program to blink a keyboard LED when new mail arrives.  It supports mbox and maildir style mailboxes and is pretty easy to configure.  It may just be my system, but I got an error upon build so I created a very simple patch that fixes it (and have notified the author).  From my knowledge of C, I'm pretty sure this won't adversely affect the operation of the program.  I suggest mail-client/ixbiff - seems like where other biff programs are located.

Simple patch to remove the "default:" case from a switch statement.

Converted the `sed` part to a patch after realizing the startup script also
needed configuration.

An interesting doohickey. :) Added to CVS portage, it will hit portage mirrors in few hours. Thanks for working on the ebuild!
