There are now Linux Mandrake qmail RPMs available for testing. They
are not part of the Linux Mandrake distribution, which I hope will
change (once I get DJB's blessing I hope!). The following packages are
part of the package:
qmail-1.03-7mdk.i386.rpm
daemontools-0.70-3mdk.i386.rpm
dot-forward-0.51-2mdk.i386.rpm
fastforward-0.51-2mdk.i386.rpm
ucspi-tcp-0.88-3mdk.i386.rpm
I have tested these packages on my own system and they work very well
out of the box. No patches are applied, the installed system is a
pristine system identical to a regular qmail compilation/installation
with the following exceptions:
- manpages are bzipped
- symlink from /var/qmail/man/* to /usr/share/man/*
- manpages are added to daemontools and ucspi-tcp
- uid/gid info for qmail is hardcoded in the spec file (this helps to
preserve permissions across re-installs instead of having different
uid/gid info on various installs)
All of these packages together will setup qmail on a Linux Mandrake
system (and, most likely, any other RPM-based distribution although I
can't guarantee this). They were built on a Linux Mandrake 7.1 system.
Any Linux Mandrake users: please test/try these packages (if you wish)
and help to get them approvied by D. J. Bernstein so we can include
them in the main Linux Mandrake distribution, or at the very least, as
part of the RPM contributions.
Please, when testing, make sure they comply with
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html and
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/var-qmail.html. This is the only way they will
be approved by DJB, so if there are any discrepencies, please let me
know.
You can download the RPMs from:
ftp://ftp.freezer-burn.org/pub/custom/{qmail,daemontools,ucspi-tcp,...}
or
www.freezer-burn.org/rpm.php3
Thanks.
