Bug 496642 – net-mail/automx automagically uses dev-python/python-memcached at run-time

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Rolf Eike Beer 2014-01-01 02:01:05 UTC]

automx/config.py in both 0.9 and 0.10 unconditionally imports memchached, which may have been disabled by use flags. The comments suggest that memchached is still optional, but it looks like it has to be present. This probably needs to be properly fixed upstream.

Reproducible: Always

memcache optional patch

[Comment 2 Marc Schiffbauer 2014-01-02 16:25:35 UTC]

For your convenience: I created automx-0.10.1_pre1 in my overlay (mschiff) so you can easily test.

The patch works in case you do not have python-memcached installed. If you have it, but no memcached defines are in the config file you will get errors like this:

Thanks for the Feedback! I added another patch from upstream which should resolve this issue as well. Can you confirm that?

(I added pre2 to my overlay)

[Comment 5 Rolf Eike Beer 2014-01-03 14:05:48 UTC]

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=net-mail/automx-0.10.1_pre2" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- net-mail/automx-0.10.1_pre2::mschiff (masked by: corruption)

I'll try to apply the patch by hand.

[Comment 6 Rolf Eike Beer 2014-01-03 14:07:38 UTC]

I can't, and that is the problem ;)

root@mail:...ff/net-mail/automx # grep FILESDIR automx-0.10.1_pre2.ebuild 
        "$FILESDIR/${PN}-memcache-optional.patch" 
        "$FILESDIR/${PN}-add-missing-memcache-exception.patch"
root@mail:...ff/net-mail/automx # ll files/
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1290 Jan  3 14:01 automx-memcache-optional.patch

The second patch has not been checked in.

[Comment 7 Marc Schiffbauer 2014-01-03 14:18:47 UTC]

Sorry! Fixed overlay... I am too busy today ;)

[Comment 8 Rolf Eike Beer 2014-01-03 23:07:06 UTC]

Patch seems to work. Overlay is still broken because of missing digest.

[Comment 9 Marc Schiffbauer 2014-01-04 03:55:42 UTC]

Ok, thanks for the feedback. Expect a new version 0.10.1 coming very soon.

-Marc
BTW: Overlay should be really fixed now.... sorry ;)

[Comment 10 Marc Schiffbauer 2014-02-02 23:34:01 UTC]

Thanks for reporting! I dropped this ebuild because 0.10.1 is in tree now.
