24 Still on the TODO list. Alternatives are:
25
26 echo "net-dns/djbdns mail-mta/postfix net-mail/cyrus-imapd > daniel-mail
27 echo "net-nds/openldap mail-client/squirrelmail" >> daniel-mail
28 emerge $(<danial-mail)
29
30 - - or -
31
32 PORTDIR_OVERLAY=$(portageq envvar PORTDIR_OVERLAY)
33 mkdir -p $(PORTDIR_OVERLAY)/app-admin/danial-mail
34 cd $(PORTDIR_OVERLAY)/app-admin/danial-mail
35 echo 'RDEPEND="net-dns/djbdns mail-mta/postfix' > daniel-mail-1.0.ebuild
36 echo 'net-mail/cyrus-imapd net-nds/openldap' >> daniel-mail-1.0.ebuild
37 echo 'mail-client/squirrelmail"' >> daniel-mail-1.0.ebuild
38 emerge daniel-mail
