Description
The current ports of maildrop 2.0.2 and courier-imap 4.1.0 both attempt to install the following files:
${prefix}/bin/deliverquota ${prefix}/share/man/deliverquota.8.gz ${prefix}/bin/maildirmake ${prefix}/share/man/maildirmake.1.gz
This results in the installation of one blocking the installation of the other.
The attached patch is an attempt to solve this problem by simply providing maildrop with the option of not installing the conflicting files. (Although maildrop can be configured with a --disable-maildirquota flag, this alters the source so that maildrop is built without maildirquota support, and some users might still want this.) This patch has not yet, however, been tested (I don't yet feel confident to set up such a mail system, let alone that I would test it properly.) It might be better to provide a similar variant for courier-imap as well, or indeed a more elegant solution than I can think of.
This ticket has been assigned to macports-dev@… as neither the listed maintainer for maildrop (matt@…) not that for courier-imap (bchesneau@…) are on the list of possible ticket assignees.
The attached patch to the dports tree is designed to be applied with the -p1 option (or -Np1) from the dports directory.
