What is a "common user" and how can you know what that user expects? > Well, can we route the PRs to you? I Expect 'some mail' if > courier-authlib can't read system passwd 'out of the box'. As I am the maintainer, you can route them to me, no problem. I'll redirect them to UPDATING where I'll describe that there is no auth. method installed by default and the end-user has to choose a sub-port which fits his needs. When courier-authlib gets split into base and auth. ports this should be done as clean as possible which means not letting some auth methods in the base-port and some not. That would not fit my definition of "clean". I see the point that it may cause confusion "I Installed sqwebmail and it doesn't work, I can't login!" But I don't see a way to prevent that when the seperation should be clean. If I'm getting to much user's feedback that this is to confusing, I might reconsider taking Yarema's Makefile.opt idea. Include that in every port that depends on courier- authlib and choose there what auth. methods to install. But I would say it should just be done now and we'll see what happens. Or we can discuss wnow hat happens w/o getting it done for ages... (imho) -- Oliver Lehmann http://www.pofo.de/ http://wishlist.ans-netz.de/
