Details

Description:
Even "sendemail.smtpencryption" is set to plain( other than sasl/stl is enough),
when using git sendemail will fail like the following:

------
Need MIME::Base64 and Authen::SASL todo auth at /usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email line 1212.
------

If perl-authen-sasl is installed, the mail will be send fine.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
git 1.8.1.4-1
perl-authen-sasl 2.16-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
[1] remove perl-authen-sasl package
[2] set "sendemail.smtpencryption" to things other than "ssl" or "tls".
[3] use "git sendemail" commands
This task depends upon

perl-authen-sasl is an optdepend. But the description says the dep is only needed for TL.

if (defined $smtp_authuser) {
# Workaround AUTH PLAIN/LOGIN interaction defect
# with Authen::SASL::Cyrus
eval {
require Authen::SASL;
Authen::SASL->import(qw(Perl));
};

It seems that "eval" should be replace by a if statement.

So the optdepend should be used for all the smtp authentication even PLAIN is used.

You'll want to send this bug report upstream if you want anyone to take a look at it. http://www.munin-monitoring.org/report

Still seeing this in 1.9.3, is there an upstream bug report to follow somewhere ?

Status? If nobody's going to bother going upstream, there's not much reason to keep this open.
