Bruno, "ebuilds" are what the Portage software management system in Gentoo Linux uses to install software. The ebuilds tell Portage what software dependencies. a piece of software has, what doc files need to be installed, handle initial software setup/configuration, etc. They fill the role of .RPMs or .DEBs, but are inspired by BSD's "ports."
The current official ebuild for qmail-ldap seems to be written by someone that thinks qmail-ldap is just "qmail with that extra patch on it." The ebuild fails to install qmail-secretary or any of the QLDAP* docs. It erroneously uses the " -lshadow" flag at compile time. It doesn't offer the option of doing data compression . . . you get the idea. I'm trying to write one that would give someone a working qmail-ldap experience 'out of the box,' and allow some install-time flexibility. My latest effort can be seen at: http://www.ed-n-cresta.net/filemgmt/singlefile.php?lid=13 I do not have the controls patch in the ebuild, but probably should. The current ebuild only has the "custom error patch" worked into it. Oh . . . and I am not using the controls patch on my home installation of qmail-ldap, either. --Ed On Monday 11 July 2005 09:08, Bruno Negrao wrote: > Hi Ed, thanks for the patch, I'll test it. > > What is your "ebuild"? > > Also, i'm planning to use qmail-ldap + qmail-ldap-virtualdomains > +qmail-ldap-control. > > Do you have them installed together? > > Regards, > bnegrao > > > As long as the patch doesn't "FAIL" anywhere you should be good to go. > > > > I'm mulling over a good way to include/exclude Kristof's patch in a > > qmail-ldap > > ebuild I'm working on for Gentoo Linux (I would say the current ebuild > > sucks, > > but only if it actually worked), and have updated it for the latest > > qmail-ldap patch.
