While I fully realise that the use of QMAIL_PATCH_DIR on netqmail isn't officially supported, I'd like to suggest a change to the way the netqmail ebuild handles conf-cc. The cause of this problem is that some patches edit conf-cc to add new requirements. For example, I'm using the popular jms1 combined patch (http://qmail.jms1.net), that changes conf-cc to: cc -O2 -DTLS -DEXTERNAL_TODO -I/usr/local/ssl/include -I/usr/kerberos/include This obviously causes problems when Gentoo's ebuild replaces the entire file: echo -n "$(tc-getCC) ${CFLAGS}" > "${MY_S}/conf-cc" I'd like to suggest that instead of replacing the entire file, the ebuild uses a patch (or sed, or whatever's the best way) to replace just the standard 'cc -O2' that the file contains by default. I've not used sed before, but from looking at some documentation, something like the following would appear to do the trick: sed 's/cc -O2/$(tc-getCC) ${CFLAGS}/' <${MY_S}/conf-cc >${MY_S}/conf-cc My guess is that something similar could also be done with the conf-ld file to also support a wider range of patches there. There may be other alternatives which I've missed, which may solve the problem better.
Fixed in -1.05-r5, can you please test it? Thanks.
This appears to be working for me. Thanks very much. =)
