Bug 20372 – c-client ebuild

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Celestial Wizard 2003-05-02 22:58:35 UTC]

Allows for uw-imap c-client library to be installed instead of the entire
uw-imap package.  useful for packages such as mod_php which have imap support,
but only require end application libraries.

See Bug 15602 for more details (also includes CFLAGS fix from 19442)

Patch for Makefile

Patch to only build the c-client library from uw-imap instead of the entire
package.

[Comment 3 Wayne Davison 2003-05-28 07:09:19 UTC]

One problem I see with this is that the uw-imap package duplicates all these
files, so we really need a package such as mod_php to be able to build with
either the c-client package OR uw-imap package installed.  So, I'd suggest
creating a virtual/c-client category and changing both this ebuild and the
uw-imap ebuild to PROVIDE it.  This package should also conflict with the
uw-imap package.

I'll attach a revised ebuild that has these changes and is made from the
uw-imap-2002c version (instead of the 2002b version).

A slightly improved c-client ebuild

This ebuild uses the us-imap-2002c1 source.  It differs from the other ebuild
in that it PROVIDEs virtual/c-client, it conflicts with net-mail/uw-imap, and
it does not bother patching the Makefile to not build things like imapd (it
just doesn't install them).

I wasn't sure what to do about the EXTRACFLAGS and EXTRALDFLAGS settings in
the previous c-client ebuild, but since the uw-imap-2002c ebuild doesn't set
them, I opted to leave them out of my c-client ebuild.

Corresponding uw-imap patch

To round things out, the uw-imap ebuild would also need to PROVIDE the new
virtual/c-client category, so this patch adds that and also adds a conflict
with the c-client package.  While I was at it, I also added a MY_PN var so
that the imap filename isn't specified twice.

Perhaps this bug should be assigned to Preston A. Elder or Robin Johnson
since they handled the uw-imap issues in bug 21565?

Discussion issue:  An alternative to my proposed creation of a new virtual
would be to remove the c-client lib & header files from the uw-imap ebuild.
That would probably be cleaner -- any opinions on the matter?

See bug #15602 for ongoing work.
