[imp] non-CVS version of IMP. Want to use fetchmail scripts.

[Michael M Slusarz]

Quoting Paul C <pczarkow at gil.com.au>:

| I am running imp-3.2.2 under horde-2.2.4, which I downloaded and installed.
| I have it running exactly how I want it to, except I want to use the
| fetchmail stuff which I've seen available under CVS.  I did a cvs checkout
| of horde and imp, and ran it as a second website to have a look at it, and
| it seems to be quite different to the current version I am running, and I
| much prefer the current one, and I don't want to have to go and re-configure
| it all over from scratch.
|
| Has anyone had any success with munging the fetchmail.php etc files into a
| current installation without getting a whole CVS update.  I have copied in
| everything I can find that's relevent, but when i access the
| /horde/imp/fetchmail.php from my browser, i get  "Fatal error: Undefined
| class name 'util' in /usr/local/horde-2.2.4/imp-3.2.2/fetchmail.php on line
| 18".  I'm guessing it's trying to use horde-3.x framework stuff.

It's going to take a *lot* more than just copying fechmail.php from HEAD.  The
codebase is completely different between the two versions, so you would
probably end up completely rewriting fetchmail.php just to get it to work with
IMP 3.x.  Not to mention that fetchmail requires a bunch of code in many
different files in HEAD - you are going to have to go through a lot of code to
try to backport it, if it is even possible (I can't remember if the fetchmail
stuff uses features only available in HEAD or not).
