Subject: Re: ports/125460: New port: mail/dovecot-managesieve dovecot's managesieve
implementation
Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 17:01:28 +0930
This port does not do what is intended. As per the INSTALL file of
dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.3.tar.gz
the dovecot port must first be patched with
dovecot-1.1.X-manage-<managesieve version>.diff.gz
then this port will work. Without this patch dovecot will fail with
'Unknown protocol name' - indicating the managesieve protocol is
unrecognised.
This is due to the dovecot code needing changes to support managesieve (
which the patch when applied provides). Ie:
++ } else if (strcasecmp(*proto, "managesieve") == 0) {
++ if (set->protocol == MAIL_PROTOCOL_MANAGESIEVE) {
++ fd = &set->listen_fd;
++ port = set->listen_port;
++ ip = &set->listen_ip;
++ }
+ } else {
+ i_fatal("Unknown protocol %s", *proto);
Hence at present this port will create the plugin required by
managesieve but not patch dovecot leaving the user wondering why things
aren't working.. After 2 hours looking into this I figured this should
be reported, if only so others don't end up scratching thier heads
wondering why.
It would also be nice if the pkg_message indicated how to enable
managesieve and if the port description wasn't a carbon copy of
dovecot-sieve.
dovecot-sieve and dovecot-managesieve are two very different beasts and
the info in the pkg-description and pkg-message for this port is just
plain wrong/decieving.
A good example for pkg-message would be:
protocols = .... managesieve
protocol managesieve {
# Specify an alternative address:port the daemon must listen on
# (default: *:2000)
#listen = localhost:2000
#
#sieve=~/.dovecot.sieve
#sieve_storage=~/sieve
#login_executable=%PREFIX%/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login
#mail_executable=%PREFIX%/libexec/dovecot/managesieve
#managesieve_max_line_length=
#managesieve_implementation_string=dovecot
}
Cheers,
Benjamin
