This is intended as a final followup to the repeated PHP IMAP |
| 2 |
question(s) that keep re-occuring on these mailing lists. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Previously, PHP (dev-php/mod_php and dev-php/php) explictly depended on |
| 5 |
net-mail/uw-imap, but only used the c-client libraries and headers from |
| 6 |
the UW-IMAP. This raised MANY questions about why it did this, and |
| 7 |
having multiple IMAP servers installed. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
As the cleanest long term solution to it, I have created |
| 10 |
net-libs/c-client, and virtual/imap-c-client. |
| 11 |
PHP now depends on virtual/imap-c-client instead of uw-imap directly. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
virtual/imap-c-client defaults to net-libs/c-client, but is also |
| 14 |
provided by net-mail/uw-imap and net-mail/vimap (this is a fork of |
| 15 |
uw-imap). |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
If you wish to remove uw-imap from your system since you only have it |
| 18 |
there for PHP, here are some instructions: |
| 19 |
=== START === |
| 20 |
# First ensure that nothing else needs uw-imap... |
| 21 |
emerge unmerge net-mail/uw-imap |
| 22 |
emerge net-libs/c-client |
| 23 |
emerge dev-php/mod_php dev-php/php |
| 24 |
==== END ==== |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
This change does (should) not break any existing installations, so if |
| 27 |
you don't change over to using uw-imap for any reasons, everything will |
| 28 |
continue to work 100%. |
| 29 |

If you find any bugs with this change, please submit them on bugzilla |
| 31 |
and note that they should be assigned to robbat2@g.o. |
