Description Keith Dart 2005-04-09 18:00:40 UTC

The mail-mta/courier-0.49.0.20050405 ebuild fails to compile at the point where it compiles the perffilter module.

Compiling perlfilter.c
Linking perlfilter
perlfilter.o(.text+0x145): In function `perlfilter':
: undefined reference to `PL_errgv'

However, for me, I don't want the perlfilter module anyway. This ebuild does not honor the the "perl" USE flag. It really should, since I have it off, and courier provides a configure option to disable the perlfilter. 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge courier
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
emerge aborts

Expected Results:  
compile without perlfilter module.

Mass re-assign, seems like mail-mta/courier needs a maintainer.

If you can whip up a patch, I'll consider it.
