I would like to build a qmail server on my existing Fedora Core 4 server. I am not quite clear as to how use the RPM's from your site.
Is it just a case of installing them seqentially with a correctly set flag or do I need to use a script?
If I already have some of the packages installed on my system (install
everything) do I need to remove them first?
After installing the RPM's, should I run yum to update the packages?
All the packages can be rebuilt (only source packages are released) and
then installed in the correct order. So, for Fedora you would rebuild
each package like this:
rpmbuild --rebuild --with fdr40 daemontools-toaster-0.76-1.2.9.src.rpm
This will rebuild the package for your machine, and create the RPM to be
installed in your /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 and noarch directories
(depending on package). You would just then install them in the normal way:
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/daemontools-toaster-0.76-1.2.9.rpm
There are a couple things you'll want to do first, such as setting up
mysql and creating the vpopmail database with the correct permissions,
but that's relatively easy. The scripts you see links to on the site are
just what some of us have put together to automate the process for
everyone else.
There really shouldn't be too many packages already installed on your
machine. ZLib from the Toaster site is a security update over the one
that comes out with the distro (and I think it's only a risk if you run
clamav with it), and maybe spamassassin. That one you would want to
remove if you want to use spamassassin with your Toaster install. The
one from the Toaster website is configured to work with the Toaster
packages - you could reconfigure your already installed one to work with
Toaster, but it would be a lot faster/easier to use the one Nick provides.
Hope that helps, and answers your questions. Oh, and yes, you want to
rum yum to update your packages BEFORE installing QMail-Toaster. Yum
will not update your Toaster packages, but it does update your system.
