Aaron - so far looks like it is working as expected. What a relief!

Paul, I was able to install the 2.0.3-1 by specifying

apt-get install dbmail-pgsql=2.0.3-1

forcing a "downgrade" from the one named 2.0.4-0.20050116 I installed yesterday which didn't have Aaron's dsn.c patch. Got a few errors doing that but Petru says:

"
socket <irc://chat.outboundindex.net/socket,isnick> not sure what was wrong with the postinst script

socket <irc://chat.outboundindex.net/socket,isnick> but since it wasn't trying to do anything on the upgrade path

socket <irc://chat.outboundindex.net/socket,isnick> I just put an exit statement at the top

socket <irc://chat.outboundindex.net/socket,isnick> thus avoiding the error

"

and the system is working and forwarding to multiple aliases even where the userid is equivalent to the delivery email address.

I was curious why the 2.0.3-1 was so much smaller than yesterday's 2.0.4-0.20050116

The deb was 7xxkB yesterday but 232kB today... and when downgrading:

The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
dbmail-pgsql
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 downgraded, 0 to remove and 121 not upgraded.
Need to get 232kB of archives.
After unpacking 1315kB disk space will be freed.

Thanks again to both Aaron and Paul,

- April

Shouldn't the package be named 2.0.3-x where the x is a package version. This would allow you to include post 2.0.3 bug fixes. I think to have a package named 2.0.4 before DBMail has released a 2.0.4 is confusing.


I can't do that until after uploading the packages to debian.org. The first package of an upstream release *must* always be -1, that's why I use -0 to indicate a prerelease.

Btw, it looks like dbmail-2 will be uploaded to debian as dbmail2-mysql and dbmail2-pgsql. The problems arising from the migration scripts are potentially just too big, esp. so shortly before sarge release. Before an official upload however, I will *have* to fix the current libtool mess. Debian policy really doesn't like the current rpath /usr/lib/dbmail/ setup.

Anyway, on debian.nfgd.net you'll currently find 2.0.3-1 which includes the dsn fix by Aaron, and some search speedups by yours truly. But it doesn't include the bug-fix for bug #158 which *is* in cvs.

I'll start creating a separate repository for my exchanges with debian tomorrow, so it won't interfere with users of debian.nfgd.net.
