Hi,
I'm working on some of the mail-related packages, and found some issues
that I would like to ask which the better way for a fix would be.
a) fetchmail doesnt build because it can not find krb5-config.
It can not find it because the sunw kerberos one is in /usr/sun/bin,
which is not in its path.
It can not find the Ubuntu one because when porting that package, its
name was changed to libkrb5-config.
To fix this, do I
- change the krb5 package back so it provides krb5-config again,
which might cause issues if other packages expect krb5-config to be
the sun one (and have usr/sun/bin in their path)
or
- change the fetchmail package to include usr/sun/bin in its path and
thus link against the sun kerberos instead of the nexenta one
(are there any specific reasons why we need the two of them, anyway ?)
or
- change the fetchmail package to use libkrb5-config, which is an
unnecessary deviation from ubuntu (and possibly other packages
might suffer from a simmilar problem ?
b) mutt does not build because the permissions of /var/mail differ from
ubuntu. (sun var/mail has more lenient permissions, hence the configure
stage thinks it can do without the mutt dotlock helper, and doesnt
compile it, and the packaging stage wants to pack it in...
Again, this has to be fixed in either the sun package owning
/var/mail, or the mutt (and possibly other) packages...
c) Is there an overriding rationale on when to use Sun userspace vs.
Ubuntu userspace ? sendmail, rmail etc. come to mind as examples
where this happens...
Ideas ?
Mario
