I've created a relatively simple ebuild that strictly follows Dave |
| 4 |
Sill's "Life with qmail" instructions found at http:// |
| 5 |
www.lifewithqmail.org. I'd be happy if a few other folks could test |
| 6 |
it out as well. |

From the web page: |

|
| 10 |
"qmail mail server software, installed and patched per http:// |
| 11 |
www.lifewithqmail.org |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
NOTE: This ebuild breaks and differs from standard and accepted |
| 14 |
Gentoo conventions, with strict intention of following the "Life With |
| 15 |
qmail" installation instructions as closely as possible; but |
| 16 |
automating the process with Portage. Therefore, you may notice |
| 17 |
untypical behavior from this package (no /etc/init.d/ script, for |
| 18 |
instance). |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
AGAIN, if you're looking for qmail done the "Gentoo way", use the |
| 21 |
Gentooified qmail package included in portage; you will be happier. |
| 22 |
However, if you are a minimalist and prefer things done according to |
| 23 |
DJB himself and most of the qmail pros on the qmail mailing list, |
| 24 |
look no further. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
FINAL NOTE: ucspi-tcp and daemontools are installed along with |
| 27 |
netqmail in this ebuild, per the LWQ guide. You will receive "blocks" |
| 28 |
from portage if those packages have been installed seperately, so |
| 29 |
don't fret!" |
