I would like a gmail enabled mail-notification, accordingly with: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62100#c15 what do you think about? Ok, I have asked around, and current policy towards libgmail is that only gmail-supporting packages with an explicit maintainer are accepted into portage. I do not use mail-notification, it's useless to me, therefore I am not willing to maintain it. Anyone from net-mail willing to take maintainership of this one? as far as i tested it, mail-notification does not need libgmail, just libsoup - but the license-issue still exists with support for gmail-related-software ... i think w/ a maintainers-head-on-the-plate - see libgmail - is a good solution ... - and at the end, it is 'just' a mail-notifier w/ the intention of reading/notifing mail, not like gmail-fs which use gmail in a different way :) I think that the ebuild should NOT install Gmail support in default behaviour, but should allow the user to specify that he want it, and so compile it. so...a USE flag gmail would be the proper solution? See Bug #58543 for new version including support for gmail via USE flag As 0.8.1 is now including gmail support, I'm closing this one. |
