[Mailsync-list] mailsync on gentoo

[Michael 'h. K. <mai...@zz...>]

Hello there,

I have recently installed gentoo linux on my laptop and, of course,
compiled mailync on the system. Well, it compiles with almost no
problem, but the patch below makes the compile (and cvs update
operation) smoother.

Basically, it adds the file generated by the installed autotools version
to .cvsignore and requests a proper automake version by exporting
environment variable. That simple.

Should we suggest an ebuild to gentoo people? (I can prepare one)

Love,
H
