Bug 392277 – mail-mta/courier don't conflict with msmtp/ssmtp

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Matus UHLAR - fantomas 2011-11-28 13:57:29 UTC]

The courier package implicitly conflicts with ssmtp and msmtp.
Both of those packages can be built without mta support and they only conflict with courier if their "mta" USE flag is on.
Since courier doesn't know whether the flag is on, please remove the conflists upon those and let them decide whether to conflict or not.

removes courier conflict with msmtp and ssmtp

[Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2011-12-04 03:12:19 UTC]

So rather than removing the blocks, they should be converted to contain USE dependencies?

[Comment 3 Matus UHLAR - fantomas 2011-12-04 14:11:47 UTC]

if it's possible, yes.
much better way would be providing virtual mta package or supporting mailwrapper that was dropped from portage...
