Update ebuild to latest release.
The whole config handling needs to be rewritten, some obvious changes are: 12c13 < SRC_URI="http://www.mailscanner.info/files/4/tar/${PN}-install-${MY_PVR}.tar.gz" --- > SRC_URI="https://s3.amazonaws.com/msv5/release/${PN}-${MY_PVR}.nix.tar.gz" 51c52 < S="${WORKDIR}/${PN}-${MY_PVR}" --- > S="${WORKDIR}/${PN}-${MY_PV}"
Created attachment 453156 [details] updated ebuild for 5.0.3-7 I have this updated ebuild running locally. After looking into the /etc/MailScanner/conf.d functionality I decided to drop upgrading of the config file in pkg_postinst() and put my local settings into an /etc/MailScanner/conf.d/local.conf instead. No idea how this could be automated for upgrades from 4.x but it seems a much more elegant and painless way of handling local adjustments to me: etc-update will point out changes in MailScanner.conf and the user either merges to leav the old fragment in or updates their local.conf accordingly. I'm not happy with how /usr/sbin/ms-update-bad-emails and /usr/sbin/ms-update-sa unconditionally call /usr/lib/MailScanner/init/ms-init restart. Because they're (potentially) part of the regular cron jobs they may cause MailScanner to start even though it's not actually supposed to run. For now it's not a problem because run_mailscanner defaults to 0 in /etc/conf.d/MailScanner effectively disabling ms-init. Which opens another bag of cats: I think we should drop all the settings from conf.d/MailScanner that we don't need to avoid user confusion.
Created attachment 453158 [details] Updated MailScanner start script This updated MailScanner start script uses start-stop-daemon's --retry option with "SIGTERM/30 SIGKILL/1". This way I don't seem to need the sleep $RESTART_DELAY on restarts any more and eliminated it together with it's now totally unused friend UPDATEMAXDELAY from /etc/conf.d/MailScanner.
Created attachment 453222 [details] updated ebuild for MailScanner-5.0.3-7 Did another pass, solving all my previous niggles to my satisfaction.
Created attachment 453224 [details] updated start script for MailScanner-5.0.3-7 - drop useless /var/lock/subsys/MailScanner - use ms-peek to get path to PID file - use automagically available settings from conf.d - drop default-matching restart() and add reload() using SIGHUP
Created attachment 453226 [details, diff] patch for ms-check to get Gentoo-compliant see top of patch for rationale
Created attachment 453228 [details] README.Gentoo documenting differences to stock behaviour
Created attachment 597986 [details] updated ebuild for v5.2.1-1 Attached is an updated ebuild for the current version.
Is anything still happening here, or is MailScanner just completely abandoned in Gentoo?
