Description andrew Fabbro 2004-07-18 19:33:09 UTC
In the pine-4.58 ebuild, there appears to be no logic to handle the passfile patch.  Any of these fail to produce a passfile-enabled pine:

(1) putting passfile as a USE option in make.conf
(2) using 'passfile' as a USE option on the command-line
(3) mucking with the IUSE list in the ebuild

However, adding this line does work:

epatch ${FILESDIR}/pine-4.56-passfile.patch

This should be a USE option, since not everyone will want a passfile for security reasons.

Alternative to all of the above, I am an idiot and missing something obvious.

'passfile' first introduced in pine-4.58-r2. Please try the latest verison in the portage tree.
