It has been almost a year since the most recent qmail-ldap ebuild has had anything of substance done to it. The qmail-ldap patch it installs is over a year old now. Searches for "qmail-ldap" in the forums show that there are lots of problems with the most recent version (-r4). Some of these problems are inherent in the ebuild (files not installed), and some are due to its age (not finding the right compiler version). So I took the most recent stable qmail ebuild (-r15) and qmail-ldap-ified it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge qmail-ldap-1.03-r4 as is 2.search forums for help 3.get frustrated Actual Results: I got frustrated enough to write a new ebuild. Expected Results: Ebuild should install software that works, with a little extra setup.
Created attachment 62638 [details] ebuild and support files for qmail-ldap-1.03-r5 This is a tarball (.tgz) that contains the ebuild + support files for qmail-ldap-1.03-r5. Installing should be as simple as unpacking into ${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} and emerging.
Created attachment 63414 [details] Bugfixes, updates: qmail-ldap-1.03-r5 ebuild Changelog vs. previous ebuild: 13 Jul 2005; Ed Cates <ed@ed-n-cresta.net> qmail-ldap-1.03-r5.ebuild: Fixed "vmail" user account creation. Thanks to "nabbed" on the forums for pointing that out. Got rid of: -files/1.03-r5/Makefile-ssl.patch -files/1.03-r5/Makefile-zlib.patch -files/1.03-r5/Makefile-debug.patch -files/1.03-r5/qmail-ldap.h.vmail.patch -temporary file to add LDAPFLAGS to Makefile and replaced them with sed commands Got rid of: -files/control/rbllist -files/control/dirmaker -files/control/ldaplocaldelivery -files/control/smtpcert and replaced them with `cat` or `echo` commands in ebuild. Added support for Kristof Bajnok's "Virtual domain support" patch. See: http://www.sztaki.hu/~bajnokk/qmail-ldap-virtual.html For this to work, "vmail" has to be set as a USE flag, and the "VDOMAINS" environment variable must be properly set. See the ebuild for details. Allowed LDAPFLAGS to be passed as an environment variable, and added a list of LDAPFLAGS to the ebuild Added SPP support; see: http://qmail-spp.sourceforge.net/ Thanks to Andre Celso Zaiats for the patch! Added dns fix for ppc-macos . . . in case it ever works on ppc-macos Made the "queue custom error" patch included by default; removed "customerror" use flag
With very little legwork, the ebuild went in fine. Here are the steps that were required for me to install this ebuild. Edit /etc/make.conf, change PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage mkdir -p /usr/local/portage cp qmail-ldap-1.03-r5.ebuild.tgz /usr/local/portage tar -zxvf qmail-ldap* Download and drop these into /usr/portage/distfiles http://qmail-spp.sourceforge.net/contrib-patches/qmail-1.03-ldap-1.03-20050401a-spp-0.41.diff http://www.nrg4u.com/qmail/qmail-ldap-1.03-20050401a.patch.gz echo "mail-mta/qmail-ldap ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords emerge -av qmail-ldap Thank You Ed Cates..

(In reply to comment #4) ignore this, pulling in wrong version :((
Can't say it worked out of the box. Their seem to be many broken thing. For example, the ldapgid and ldapuid files in /var/qmail/control were empty, although after analysing the ebuild there are code for that which seem not to be working (egetent?). So, since no Gentoo specific howto exist for qmail-ldap, at least you could try to make the defaults the same to some widely available documentation. Life With Qmail-ldap seems a good choice. Otherwise, you end up having to analyse what's going on inside the ebuild in paralelle to reading the doc. One think, might as well building the darn thing from the cli and tell the ebuild maintainers to stop wasting time on it since I'm not using it. You have absolutely no clue from the ebuild that their are gazillions of env variables to set for emerging this. Result: I had to compile twice. Anyhow. My 2

My 2¢, for those who wish to improve upon this. I might do so when I'm done transfering my system from vmailmgr to ldap base. PS. Not ranting. I appreciate the work. Just mentionning (humblely) what's deserves to be done to improve the ebuild.
Created attachment 81648 [details] Tarball for 1.03-r6 ebuild + files I've updated the ebuild to work with the latest qmail-ldap patch, and gotten a lot of other things working that were previously broken. CHANGELOG: qmail-ldap-1.0.3-r6.ebuild Updated to use qmail-ldap-20060201 patch Fixed qmail-spp plugin (http://qmail-spp.sourceforge.net) to work with qmail-ldap, thanks to Scott Ryan (see: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=9823259&forum_id=41276 ) Added "spp" use variable Fixed/added Makefile for tcprules in /etc/tcprules.d Updated Kristof Bajnok's "Virtual domain support" patch to at least compile and run cleanly. **UNTESTED** Fixed a redundancy in tcp.smtp rule Fixed a redundancy in tcp.smtp rule ;-) A couple of URL updates Fixed setup for ldapuid, ldapgid, and ldapmessagestore in /var/qmail/control Added "readvars" use flag and associated informational text about environment variables and compile-time options
Created attachment 81692 [details, diff] Patch to 1.03-r6 ebuild and package Manifest I realized last night that I had hardcoded the virtual mail user's UID, GID and HOME into the ebuild when determining the ldapuid, ldapgid, and ldapmessagestore files in /var/qmail/control. This patch fixes that problem, I think. To use it, just download it and run (for example): cat /path/to/qmail-ldap-1.03-r6.diff | patch -d ${PORTDIR_OVERLAY}/mail-mta/qmail-ldap/
Created attachment 81794 [details, diff] Patch to 1.03-r6 ebuild, Manifest, ChangeLog, files/digest Falador on the forums pointed out that Gentoo 2006.0 doesn't come with the qmail system users, so I've modified the ebuild to take care of that. After some internal debate, I used the old Gentoo IDs instead of the ones from Life With Qmail. Also, it seems there might have been an error in the digest for the qmail-spp diff file. That has been fixed.
To clarify: The latest diff is still against the original "Tarball for 1.03-r6 ebuild + files"
Hi, I added the qmail-ldap-control patch to the ebuild that resultet from the latest patch by Ed Cates. The additional qmail-ldap-controls20060217-control.c.patch removes a few lines from control.c that causes qmail-ldaplookup to segault (at least for me). I reportet the problem upstream but got no response. Maybe it work's for you without the patch?
