Hello,
I'm the dspam maintainer for Fedora and EPEL packages. I am trying to
update the packages in fedora in response to a packaging issue however
they fail to build on newer version of fedora. I've narrowed down the
issue to a configure issue.
From configure.ac
# Daemon support
#
AC_ARG_ENABLE(daemon,
[AS_HELP_STRING(--enable-daemon,
Enable support for DSPAM to run in --daemon mode
)])
AC_MSG_CHECKING([whether to enable daemon mode])
case x"$enable_daemon" in
xyes) # daemon output enabled explicity
;;
xno) # daemon output disabled explicity
;;
x) # daemon output disabled by default
enable_daemon=no
;;
*) AC_MSG_ERROR([unexpected value $enable_daemon for
--{enable,disable}-daemon configure option])
;;
esac
if test x"$enable_daemon" != xyes
then
enable_daemon=no
else
enable_daemon=yes # overkill, but convenient
AC_DEFINE(DAEMON, 1, [Defined if daemon support is enabled])
fi
AC_MSG_RESULT([$enable_daemon])
The following code gets translated into the configure script that does
the checking. For each of these snippets in configure.ac if I don't
specify yes or no I get configure errors of unexpected value X for ....
However with one small change
case "x$enable_daemon" in...
everything continues to function. So I'd like to bring this to the
attention of the DSPAM maintainers. I'm not sure if there is a cleaner
way to designate the tests for configure/autotools or if that is indeed
the right fix.
In the meantime I will be patching the newer packages configure.ac so
that they build but thought I would bring up the issue here for the
dspam developers.
Also as a heads up Fedora is moving towards systemd which allows for
socket based activation. It would be nice if dspam in daemon mode could
work that way. Here is the information regarding that feature if someone
cares to implement it.
