Okay, this last mail went through smoothly and without any trouble in log |
| 13 |
files. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Since I got private mails from others having the same problem, here's exactly |
| 16 |
what I did to solve this: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
- Create a local overlay |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
- copy the mail-mta/netmail directory from portage tree |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
- wget http://www.ckdhr.com/ckd/qmail-103.patch |
| 23 |
to the files directory. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
- copy netmail-1.06.ebuild to netmail-1.06-r1.ebuild |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
- insert "epatch "${FILESDIR}"/qmail-103.patch" before the first epatch in |
| 28 |
src_unpack() |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
- rebuild manifest, add the overlay and rebuild netmail |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
- restart svscan. |
| 33 |
|

This patch from Christopher Davis is actually dated back to 1998; I'm not sure |
| 35 |
about copyright issues on the patch, but it seems trivially simple. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Though, I'm wondering why such a simple fix isn't already part of the netmail |
| 38 |
ebuild. |
