Description Christopher Engelhard 2021-02-27 10:13:32 UTC
Hi,
you recently dropped php-imap from your package

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/php/c/d2d89df9de6d026b80f56ff495b15ecb1cc2f1b2?branch=rawhide

Unfortunately, the nextcloud package requires php-imap for some of its functionality that I would prefer not to remove.


What made it necessary to drop php-imap and how can I help to keep it in?

Comment 1 Remi Collet 2021-02-28 14:41:37 UTC
imap extension needs libc-client provided by uw-imap

This a dead and unmaintained project for > 10 years
(the reason why not in Enterprise Distribution, e.g. RHEL)

AS uw-imap have been remove from Fedora, we cannot provide this extension anymore


If someone is crazy enough to take ownership of uw-imap and make it available in Fedora, imap extension will be back 


Sorry, but can't fix for now

Comment 2 Christopher Engelhard 2021-02-28 16:14:39 UTC
OK, that makes sense. I'll get in touch with nextcloud upstream to see about getting rid of this dep.
