6 Hm, the comment I actually got was "who's going to make all of the
7 requisite changes". By changes, I understood "patching ebuilds" and I've
8 already done that and posted it to Bug #52076. I am pretty sure I
9 must've overlooked something, but so far as someone has taken the effor
10 to "fix" a package's ebuild to support ".maildir", it is just as trivial
11 to use $MAILDIR instead of ".maildir" in the "fix".
12
13 As Grant's already mentioned at that bug (Comment #7)
14
15 " Since I would expect very few people to ever change the value of this
16 variable, I'm not so worried about people shooting themselves in the
17 foot."
18
19 so I figured that the "raft of new bugreports" is not a concern.

21 So far, the list of ebuilds that I patched, includes
22
23 mail-client/mutt/mutt-1.5.6-r4.ebuild
24 mail-client/nail/nail-11.1.ebuild
25 mail-filter/maildrop/maildrop-1.5.3-r1.ebuild
26 mail-filter/maildrop/maildrop-1.7.0-r2.ebuild
27 mail-filter/maildrop/maildrop-1.7.0.20040907.ebuild
28 mail-filter/procmail/procmail-3.22-r6.ebuild
29 mail-mta/courier/courier-0.47.ebuild
30 mail-mta/exim/exim-4.43.ebuild
31 mail-mta/postfix/postfix-2.1.5-r1.ebuild
32 mail-mta/qmail/qmail-1.03-r13.ebuild
33 mail-mta/qmail/qmail-1.03-r15.ebuild
34 net-mail/bincimap/bincimap-1.2.10.ebuild
35 net-mail/checkpw/checkpw-1.01.ebuild
36 net-mail/courier-imap/courier-imap-3.0.7.ebuild
37 net-mail/courier-imap/courier-imap-3.0.8.ebuild
38 net-mail/dovecot/dovecot-0.99.11-r1.ebuild
39 net-mail/mailfront/mailfront-0.88.ebuild
40 net-mail/popa3d/popa3d-0.6.4.1.ebuild
41 net-mail/qmailadmin/qmailadmin-1.2.1.ebuild
42 net-mail/vpopmail/vpopmail-5.4.0.ebuild
43 net-mail/vpopmail/vpopmail-5.4.6-r1.ebuild
44
45 If there is one that also needs to be touched, do add to the list.
46 I've only done the latest stable and unstable versions of an ebuild that
47 seemed to require fixing (at least that's what I *intended* to do).
