I'm making up a git-based ebuild for exim, so I can test 4.70 and keep up with changes between releases, and
Gentoo have patches that appear to have been around since 4.14 that still haven't gone upstream.
These are minor build fixes which should be applied:
http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/gentoo-portage/mail-mta/exim/files/exim-4.14-tail.patch
http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/gentoo-portage/mail-mta/exim/files/exim-4.69-r1.boolean_redefine_protect.152706.patch
Bug:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/152706
I'm not sure what this is doing:
http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/gentoo-portage/mail-mta/exim/files/exim-4.43-r2-localscan_dlopen.patch
This is a default config change that may/may not be appropriate to include:
http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/gentoo-portage/mail-mta/exim/files/exim-4.69-r1.27021.patch
Bug:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/27021
The rest of the files in that directory aren't used in the 4.69 ebuild, except for the following which is a
distro-specific default config change based on the user requesting maildir support so it doesn't make sense
to include it in exim itself:
http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/gentoo-portage/mail-mta/exim/files/exim-4.20-maildir.patch
