Description Alexander Holler 2002-06-09 19:26:00 UTC

Hi,  The summary says it all. It seems to instruct postfix to use the cyrus-sasl library for authentification.  I would find it usefull if the howto would also offer a single handy list like the developers howto.   As this aplies to the developer howto too, I would prefer to have just one list, it's easier to maintain. Maybe the two maintainers could have a talk. ;)

Hi Alex,

The USE business is a work in progress.  You are correct in that the two devs
who wrote those howtos should talk about it.  My USE howto is still incomplete,
as I myself am a little unsure of certain flags.  Thanks for catching this bug :)

postfix-1.1.11.20020822 has been released into portage.  It is currently 
masked.  Right now it has support for tls and tls+ipv6.  SASL support is 
coming "Real Soon Now"... I will post on this bug report when I get support 
added in.

sasl support has been added to the postfix.1.1.11.20020822.ebuild and released
into portage.  All the use.defaults files have also been updated with sasl
referencecs.

How long are we off from updated use variable documentation?

postfix-1.1.11.20020917 has been released into portage.  This version also 
supports sasl.

see /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc for a full listing of supported use variables
see /etc/make.profile/make.defaults for the default use variables enabled on 
your system.
