Bug 78694 – amavisd-new doesn't apply courier patch properly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin Allchin 2005-01-19 10:15:41 UTC]

amavisd-new supports courier through a patch.

The ebuild has code to cater for this:

src_unpack() {      
        unpack ${A}        
        cd ${S}        
        if $(has_version mail-mta/courier) ; then
                einfo "Patching with courier support."
                epatch "amavisd-new-courier.patch" || die "patch failed"
        fi          
}

Unfortunately it doesn't work, and the binary & conf installed do not have the patch applied.

Every time I upgrade amavisd-new it breaks Courier and I must manually extract the sources and apply the patch. In particular there is a '$protocol' option added to the conf file which is missing.

Also, the latest version (amavisd-new-20041222) mentions a new lighter weight conf file. It would be handy if the heavy weight version where installed as amavisd.conf-default (or something).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge amavisd-new
2.
3.
