Description David CHANIAL 2007-10-13 12:19:59 UTC
Hi (and excuse for my bad english),

Even with the use of the QMAIL_PATCH_DIR env var, the domainkeys patch (http://www.qmail.org/qmail-1.03-dk-0.54.patch) require an ebuild modification to get domainkeys running.

The reason is that the patch implie that the make will generate two new files :
 qmail-dk (binary)
 qmail-dk.8 (man page)

Actually i have to maintain my own ebuild which have to add the binary, the man page is already added because of the " doman *.[1-8]"

I think ebuild maintainers should add a directive as following :

[ -e qmail-dk ] && doins qmail-dk

This modifications not impact the domainkeys non users, and permit the domainkeys users to use the official netqmail ebuild.

Best regards, 

Reproducible: Always

We will not add custom changes. Please use /etc/portage/bashrc with a post_src_install hook.
