Bug 267305 – mail-filter/dcc[milter] + mail-mta/sendmail: mail-filter/libmilter dependence

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Denis Kaganovich 2009-04-24 08:44:19 UTC]

mail-filter/dcc with "milter" useflag want mail-filter/libmilter, but libmilter now part of mail-mta/sendmail.

Then must be one of two (or both) fixes:
milter? ( mail-filter/libmilter )
to
milter? ( mail-mta/sendmail )
- in mail-filter/dcc

and/or 

PROVIDE="mail-filter/libmilter"
- in mail-mta/sendmail

(IMHO any of first accessible package may be fixed or both)

PS Next patch form attaches

Reproducible: Always

Best solution (dcc patch)

"Fix" lines in initial report are not right. Use attaches only.

Alternative solution (need unmasking for mail-filter/libmilter)

I came to the same conclusion as Denis.
I would kindly ask the maintainers of the ebuild to implement one of the above suggestions.
Other milters use the first option: to depend either on libmilter or sendmail.
It would be also reasonable to introduce a virtual for libmilter, since both packages provide the same components.

First. Second is wrong. ;) "PROVIDE" with non-virtual package is not good.

version .119 is out, and the trivial fix is still not included.

I'd kindly ask the maintainer of the package to apply the suggested patch (first attachment) to make life easier.

Dw.

.135 is out. For God's sake: please include that trivial fix. Please! :OoOoOO
