Hi folks, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
heh, my first post to this list :) I'm no Gentoo dev but from time to time I |
| 4 |
look after some ebuilds I'm interested in. And while I was walking through |
| 5 |
Bugzilla I noticed two of them for which new USE flags might come in handy. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I don't know what's the correct way to go, don't know how the flags (even |
| 8 |
the private ones) are handled. Both flags sound like they might come in |
| 9 |
handy for other ebuilds, too. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
The flags I'd like to propose are: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
-> "qmail" for dev-perl/Mail-SpamAssassin. |
| 15 |
rationale: SpamAssassin offers a tool called qmail-spamc which is built |
| 16 |
optionally as nobody without qmail really needs it. It's very lightweight |
| 17 |
but I don't think that's a reason to build (and install) it for everybody. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
So a "qmail" USE flag should be the way to go here. And I guess there are |
| 20 |
other packages out there which offer optional qmail features, too. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
-> "smime" for app-crypt/gpgme |
| 23 |
rationale: GpgME can optionally built with S/MIME support. To do this it |
| 24 |
just needs to have app-crypt/newpg installed. It seems like GpgME is |
| 25 |
currently more or less unmaintained but maybe there's a chance to get this |
| 26 |
into there anyway :) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
There are most probably quite some other apps (especially MUAs) with |
| 29 |
optional S/MIME support. |

Cheers, |
