Description Alexander Tsoy 2015-10-17 21:58:32 UTC 
Latest version of radiusclient is dated early 2002 and exim is the only consumer of it in the gentoo repo. Luckily exim supports newer API which was introduced in radiusclient-ng. freeradius-client is a successor to the radiusclient-ng, which utilizes the same API.

    mail-mta/exim: use freeradius-client instead of radiusclient

    Also fix compilation with USE=radius. It was broken since
    4.86 release.
