Hi Ryan,
We tried to incorporate autoconf in 1.0 but unfortunatly our autoconf
guy is on a 6 month leave and Roel and I are working on other stuff. To
fill in for the miss we incorporated a build script which should be
sufficient for now.
It would have taken too long to fully incorporate it in the main source
tree before 1.0. We will however put it in 1.1.
Best regards,
Eelco
I guess I'm really confused. I wasn't aware you had an autoconf guy,
which is why I submitted the autoconf stuff that is currently in 1.0 and
cvs Since then I've submitted a couple of patches which would have
allowed dbmail to use either the old style build, or the autoconf build
interchangeably on the source
(http://dbmail.adiis.net/files/Makefile_includes.patch) and some fixups
for autoconf bugs
(http://dbmail.adiis.net/files/dbmail_must_choose_sql_backend.patch).
Had these been applied dbmail could have used either build system
interchangeably. Instead, the 1.0 tarball contains a mostly broken
without tinkering autoconf system that most people will probably try
because they see ./configure :) If you have an autoconf guy who is
going to redo the work currently there, or if you weren't planning on
using my work, I don't understand why it was distributed with 1.0, and
if you are planning to use the current autoconf system, I don't
understand why the two non code invasive patches that would have put a
working autoconf system weren't applied.
