Hello, |
| 2 |
I'm using Courier-IMAP, Courier-Auth, Postfix+SASL and storing users in |
| 3 |
a PostgreSQL database. My database is on another machine so I don't |
| 4 |
think I should have to install dev-db/postgresql but I must for some |
| 5 |
reason. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I can see that the packages need postgresql |
| 8 |
lithium ~ # emerge -pv courier-authlib postfix cyrus-sasl |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
These are the packages that I would merge, in order: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Calculating dependencies ...done! |
| 13 |
[ebuild R ] net-libs/courier-authlib-0.57-r1 -berkdb +crypt -debug |
| 14 |
+gdbm -ldap -mysql +pam +postgres 0 kB |
| 15 |
[ebuild R ] mail-mta/postfix-2.1.5-r2 -ipv6 -ldap -mailwrapper -mbox |
| 16 |
-mysql +pam +postgres +sasl (-selinux) +ssl -vda 0 kB |
| 17 |
[ebuild R ] dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20 -authdaemond -berkdb +gdbm |
| 18 |
-java -kerberos -ldap -mysql +pam +postgres +ssl -static 0 kB |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
But equery doesn't show that courier-authlib depends on postgresql, even |
| 21 |
though it's one of the use flags. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
lithium ~ # equery depends postgresql |
| 24 |
[ Searching for packages depending on postgresql... ] |
| 25 |
dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20 |
| 26 |
mail-mta/postfix-2.1.5-r2 |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
So if PostgreSQL server is on another machine why must I install it |
| 29 |
locally for postfix/cyrus-sasl to use it? Wasn't there talk awhile ago |
| 30 |
about some libpq package that should be used instead? I'm confused. I |
| 31 |
also don't want to have to put the postgresql full package on this server |
| 32 |
(it should run email stuff only). So what to do? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
TIA |
