Bug 112149 – James -100% pure Java SMTP and POP3 Mail server and NNTP News server [ebuild request]

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Guenther Schroettner 2005-11-11 02:38:47 UTC]

The Apache Java Enterprise Mail Server (a.k.a. Apache James) is a 100% pure Java
SMTP and POP3 Mail server and NNTP News server. We have designed James to be a
complete and portable enterprise mail engine solution based on currently
available open protocols.

James is also a mail application platform. We have developed a Java API to let
you write Java code to process emails that we call the mailet API. A mailet can
generate an automatic reply, update a database, prevent spam, build a message
archive, or whatever you can imagine. A matcher determines whether your mailet
should process an email in the server. The James project hosts the Mailet API,
and James provides an implementation of this mail application platform API.

James is based upon the Apache Avalon application framework, formerly a product
of the Apache Avalon project (see "news" below).

No progress here for 1 year, closing WONTFIX. Feel free to reopen with an ebuild.

Let's keep this open to prevent people from filing new bugs as upstream is alive.

[Comment 3 Robert 2007-06-25 09:03:26 UTC]

Thought I'd reopen this request as I'm migrating a current James install from M$ to gentoo.  Don't mind providing testing/usage/debug type info to the devs if its helpful, but sadly don't have the expertise or time at the moment to do the ebuild myself.

That's nice but upstream won't write any ebuild... Keeping ebuild requests in bugzilla indefinitely makes no sense and one year is a plenty of time for people to produce something if they are interested.

Well can't I handle Java bugs as I wish?

There's ~2400 of open maintainer-wanted bugs for new ebuilds, lots of them even have nice ebuilds attached but there's simply noone who would maintain those. As such, a *request* sitting/rotting here without anyone producing anything for two years just clutters bugzilla search.

This whole m-wanted idea is horribly flawed, re-assigning this to java if you want this.

Nothing happened in 10 years here so let's close this ebuild and move on, shall we.
