Discussion of Spells and Grimoire items

[Pierre Abbat <phma AT webjockey.net>]

I tried to cast it and got this:
root@blackcat:~# cast courier
Preparing environment for courier

  *******************************************************************
  **  The Courier-MTA program will NOT compile if you have the     **
  **  combreloc option enabled in archetecture Optimization Menu.  **
  *******************************************************************

Do you have the combreloc option enabled?  [y] n

  ********************************************************************
  **  The courier user and group IDs have not been defined in       **
  **  /etc/sorcery/accounts and /etc/sorcery/groups, respectively.  **
  ********************************************************************

I doubt that the average user knows what a "combreloc" is or is going to 
check 
that in the middle of casting a spell. I have it off, but the spell falsely 
detected that it is on.

Please let me know what uids and gids are needed and I'll add them. Uids and 
gids should be added to /etc/sorcery before submitting a spell that needs 
them.

Also, the CONFLICTS file should list courier-imap.

You need a CONFLICTS file which lists all the other MTAs (actually, we need a 
way to say "This is an MTA and we can only have one").

I untarred the tarball in my local grimoire and tried to cast it. I get this:

courier is not a spell!
Preparing environment for courier

Spells that encountered problems:

courier

The only way I've found to fix this is to do a scribe update.

Provides is a good way.

If you manualy mess around in the grimoires, run a 'scribe reindex'
after.

PS see bug 3191 for the UID/GID.
