Apart from the chroot.de ones not having ANY of the mainstream gentoo |

qmail stuff. |

I agree the state of gentoo's qmail-ldap leaves a lot to be desired, and |
| 16 |
we are all ears on help, but time is still tight on us. I maintain the |
| 17 |
main qmail package and offer some help to the other qmail-{ldap,mysql} |
| 18 |
folk. |

If somebody with time could go thru all the open bugs, collate them and |
| 24 |
ensure the functionality between qmail-ldap and the main qmail (latest |
| 25 |
~x86 build) is similiar (including my conf-* stuff), it would go a long |
| 26 |
way towards getting something better into the tree for you. |
