 Posted: Tue Nov 16, 2004 1:05 am Post subject: Why spamassassin? |
 |
|
I did an emerge world today and spamassassin is to be installed along with various perl scripts.
Can someone explain how to figure out what program is requesting this. I have a small email server that runs spamassassin so I don't need or want it on my local machine.
Thanks,
Michael |

Thanks.
Actually
did the trick.
So the next question is why does evolution want spamassassin and how do I tell it no?

I don't understand why evolution would want spamassassin. Is it possible to post the output of emerge -uDtv world?

| The new evolution uses spamassasin to filter spam. Before you could optionally send an email to spamassasin using a filter. Using spamassasin is still an option but it's more incorporated into evolution. That's probably why it chooses to install it. |

Then what do I have different about my system that keeps evolution from asking for spamassassin? I don't see anything about it in the ebuild so I am not sure that is the reason.

| It's optionally as far as if you use it or not. I'm don't believe there's a use flag or anything that determines it is installed. Check out the ebuild. Spamassasin is definitely included as a dependency. Maybe you can file a bug report or complain in some other way. Or I guess you could change the ebuild and see what happens. |

If it is an option,then how do I tell the system that I don't want it. As stated above, I already run spamassassin on my mail server.

There is a line for spamassasin. I don't understand why they would be different. Did you remove the line for spamassasin? You didn't mention it in any of your posts. Also, the ebuild version is evolution-2.0.2.ebuild. |

Whoa...freaky. I've never even messed with the ebuild (NTM the fact I just synced like ten minutes ago)
EDIT: Well, I have it now...strange.

The time could explain that.

| So, shouldn't this be an option, rather than required? Sounds like a USE flag to me. |

You could always | Code: | | echo "mail-filter/spamassassin" >> /etc/portage/profile/package.provided |
no? |

| Is using the package.* files now becoming the "Gentoo Way"? Yes, I use them, but somehow they seem to punch a hole through the "elegance" of USE flags and FEATURES. Don't you agree? |

I don't agree. I still set FEATURES in /etc/make.conf, but I prefer to set USE flags on a per-package basis in /etc/portage/package.use. Of course, others prefer to use /etc/portage/package.use to override system-wide flags. It's up to you. |

This is a bug in the ebuild. Evolution works fine and dandy without SpamAssassin if you don't use the spam feature.
Maybe you should let the ebuild's author know and submit a bug in Gentoo's bugzilla.
For myself, I have copied the ebuild in the overlay and commented the SpamAssassin dependency, and will rely on this fashion until the ebuild author wakes up.
