The qmail-1.03-r9 ebuild has been masked since September, it adds |
| 2 |
support for SMTP-TLS and qmail ldap. Currently it appears to be masked |
| 3 |
due to a problem compiling when USE = ssl ldap is set (the exact |
| 4 |
features I want to use....) |

Email sent to raker@g.o (listed in package.mask, and as the |
| 7 |
responsible developer for all of net-mail) have gone unanswered. ( |
| 8 |
Since there are unimplemented hooks in the ebuild to solve this issue I |
| 9 |
suspect he already knows the solution, and there might be unforseen |
| 10 |
other issues...) |

I have a patch against the current CVS tree that gets it to the compile |
| 13 |
and work stage, at least for me. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
What is the best way to submit this to someone that cares? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
My ideas: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
1. Create a bugzilla entry reporting the compile failure, and linking to |
| 20 |
the patch. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
2. Saying to heck with doing something useful, since as long as overlay |
| 23 |
is available it works for me, and rsync won't trash it. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
3. Connive nearby friend who is blessed with CVS access to apply patch. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
4. Send constant "are we there yet" messages to developer until he/she |
| 28 |
cracks under strain and trades "holiday cheer" for automatic weapons |
| 29 |
fire. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
5. Post non-sensical email message to gentoo-dev list. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Not necessarily in that order.. ;-) |
