[gentoo-dev] virtual/imap brain damage?

[Brad Laue]

While running emerge -up world on a server of mine I noticed a conflict 
between imap-uw and the c-client ebuilds, both of which, I reasoned, 
would be satisfied with a virtual/imap virtual.

I browsed through /etc/make.profile/virtuals to make sure there wasn't 
one, and found this:

virtual/imapUW          net-mail/uw-imap
virtual/imapd           net-mail/courier-imap
virtual/imap-c-client   net-libs/c-client

Suggestions:

1) uw-imap and courier-imap can go under virtual/imapd

2) c-client and uw-imap can go under virtual/imap-c-client.

Point 2 Is important, it solves a blocker issue with mod_php at the moment.

Any thoughts?

Brad

Am I missing something, for me these issues are already resolved
(c-client and uw-imap providing imap-c-client, uw-imap and courier-imap
providing imapd) ?

The blocker showed up because virtual/imap-c-client was implemented
and old installs of uw-imap did not provide that virtual. If you _want_
to use uw-imap, just re-emerge it from source and all will be good. If
you don't want it (eg you just want IMAP support in mod_php), then
unmerge uw-imap.

These are several other imap servers already provide virtual/imapd.

c-client, uw-imap and vimap ALREADY provide virtual/imap-c-client
