We are running Gentoo with qmail-ldap on a production machine, handling |
| 9 |
email for approx 500 user accounts. At the time of installation (early |
| 10 |
Jan) I was unaware of the chroot.de ebuilds, so we're using the ones |
| 11 |
from portage with a few patches to fix various problems. See: |

Please note that I'm not recommending that you use these instead of the |
| 18 |
chroot.de ones (for one things, chroot.de is more up to date!). |

I understand that the qmail-ldap maintainer, Benjamin Coles (sj7trunks), |
| 21 |
is a volunteer (just like all the other Gentoo folk). I know we can't |
| 22 |
expect the same reponse as we'd expect from a paid employee. At the same |
| 23 |
time, I think the current qmail-ldap situation in Gentoo is appauling - |
| 24 |
we are making it extremely difficult for sysadmins to make the move to |
| 25 |
Gentoo, both technically, and at a management level (how can I sell |
| 26 |
Gentoo as a mail server when the STABLE qmail-ldap ebuilds in portage |
| 27 |
are broken, and have been for months?). |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
A quick check of Bugzilla shows 12 open qmail-ldap bugs, all with |
| 30 |
supplied patches but little or no comments from Gentoo devs. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Please don't take this as a flame, or a slight against sj7trunks. I'm |
| 33 |
not suggesting that he shouldn't be the qmail-ldap maintainer, but |
| 34 |
perhaps we need one (or more) others to assist? |
