It just annoys the hell out a me sometimes, redhat and mandrake did it in
6.0 (granted they released a fix...after sometime) and now it starts all
over again with 6.1.  You people who use IMP or TWIG or some other webmail
tool that uses imap and and php3 know what I'm talking about.

<rant>
the problem with php3 and postgresql I can put down to a typo, a quick look
at the src rpm's shows the --with-pgsql was forgotten.  But the problem with
imap..well what an utter complete stuff up that is.  I find it hard to
follow the logic of the guy who created that.

what was wrong with having an imap and an imap-dev rpm..but nooooo, lets
have an imap rpm..get ride off the all important c-client files so people
cant link against them and then make the mod_php-imap binaries fat and the
src rpms massive by including imap source  in the file....waste peoples time
(yes the same people who thought they would do the right thing and PAY for
linuxmadrake distro and support the company) by making sure they dont work
and leaving it up to the end user to fix it them selves because they NEED
that functionality NOW and cant WAIT till and OFFICIAL fix is EVENTUALLY
released.

</rant>

Ok..I feel better now.  Thank you.

A note to Linux-mandrake.  I think you people shouldn't worry about all the
hip and funky fairy floss untill you make sure EVERYTHING in the product you
are SELLING works.....dont fall into M$ mentallity of sales and
distribution.
