Summary: A mail checker client and comsat mail checking server. Name: comsat Version: 0.10 Release: 22 Copyright: BSD Group: System Environment/Daemons Source0: ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/network/finger/biff+comsat-0.10.tar.gz Patch0: biff+comsat-0.10-misc.patch Patch1: biff+comsat-0.10-nobr.patch Obsoletes: biff Provides: biff Requires: inetd BuildRoot: /var/tmp/%{name}-root %description The biff client and comsat server are an antiquated method of asynchronous mail notification. Although they are still supported, most users use their shell's MAIL variable (or csh shell's mail variable) to check for mail, or a dedicated application like xbiff or xmailbox. If the comsat service is not enabled, biff won't work and you'll need to use either the MAIL or mail variable. You may want to install biff if you'd like to be notified when mail arrives. However, you should probably check out the more modern methodologies of mail notification (xbiff or xmailbox) instead. %prep %setup -q -n biff+comsat-0.10 %patch0 -p1 %patch1 -p1 %build make RPM_OPT_FLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" %install rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/{bin,man/man1,man/man8,sbin} make INSTALLROOT=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT install %clean rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %files %defattr(-,root,root) /usr/bin/biff /usr/man/man1/biff.1 /usr/sbin/in.comsat /usr/man/man8/in.comsat.8 /usr/man/man8/comsat.8
