c-client

Category: local-install (rebuilt only so archlinuxaba/the cluster gets it too; not maintained/adapted/owned by us — see arch/scripts/install_only_packages).

UW-IMAP client library. Built as a prerequisite for php74 (see memory/php74.md), which hard-makedepends on it but it wasn’t available anywhere (not in official repos, not previously published to archlinuxaba, since it’s only on AUR).

Build notes (2026-08-19)

• AUR pkgbase=imap produces two subpackages via package_imap()/ package_c-client(), but pkgname=c-client is declared as a plain scalar (not an array) – so only package_c-client() is actually built by makepkg; package_imap() is dead code in this PKGBUILD as checked out. Only c-client/c-client-debug artifacts are produced, no imap package – expected, not a bug.
• A stale, already-current (2007f-21) but unpublished checkout existed at /data/INSTALL/c-client – cleaned up leftover build artifacts before proceeding.
• Upstream arch=('x86_64') only (old UW-IMAP codebase, hand-rolled Makefile build via make lnp ...). Extended to i686/pentium4 on a hunch (pure C, -fPIC, nothing obviously 64-bit-specific) – built cleanly on all three arches on the first try, no issues.
• pkgrel 21 -> 21.1 (local-install, X.Y scheme) for the arch extension.
