Of course I read the Changelog, but the new post install (no pun
intended) is documented horribly.
Regarding prep work, no, nothing really needs to be done, it's all at
%post where the work needs to be done.

This is in response to Geoffrey Lee as well.
Yes, sadly Epoch will have to be used : P
I've actually got it sorta running now... The error I listed before was
due to a missing file (%{_sysconfdir}/postfix/postfix-files). So now,
'post-install create-missing'
'post-install set-permissions mail_owner=postfix setgid_group=postdrop'
Both need to be run, of course there's the easier but seems dirtier way
is 'post-install upgrade-package'
Regardless, it seems like this script is going to gripe about missing
files anyway (e.g, fails if a pcre table is not found), but doesn't
error out abnormally.
So right now, I'm actually only left with two errors, those being in
the log/main/error file:
fatal: master_spawn: exec /usr/lib/postfix/tlsmgr: No such file or
directory
--
Hmmmmmm, not installed...
second (more serious):
fatal: connect #11 to subsystem public/cleanup: Connection refused
--
Haven't a clue... Yet : )
Anyway, that's where I'm at, when I feel like messing around with it
all again, I shall : ) Which will probably be sooner than I even think :

Trying, the volition devoid of action, this is idleness.
Doing, the volition replete in motion, a process.
Being that all things are impermanent, this process is constant.
If one realizes such, the process is in all actuality, one step.
A motion that can not be reversed, but may be halted.
Both ways does this sway.
