Removing qtp-ldap from the qtp-dependencies script let qtp-newmodel
run successfully. (Finally!) So far, everything looks okay.

Yeah, I really didn't want to migrate between different versions if I
could avoid it. I wasn't sure whether there wasy anything in there
that would matter but I figured that Murphy's Law would rule if there
was the slightest chance of a problem.

Busy time of year for everyone, I think, so I'm not exactly surprised
that it's going to be a bit before the official release.

I was hoping to be able to use COS6 as I hopefully won't need to
rebuild the Qmail server for a very, very long time since this time
it's going in a VM on Citrix Xenserver rather than on a physical box.
It will be the first of our servers to make that switch.

I've sent Dan an offlist email regarding his script since both
mirror4.qmailtoaster.com and mirror9 (the two locations he'd said that
the script could be downloaded from) seem to no longer exist. So,
unless someone has a copy of it that they can make available, I'll
have to wait to hear back from him before I can get too far with the
new Qmail server.

ES> Please keep us posted on your progress.

Well, the qmailtoaster on the old server is now up to date and I'm
getting started on the CentOS6 minimal install on the new server. With
a little luck and a quick response regarding Dan's script, I hope to
get the new server at least as far as the testing phase by the end of
the week. If I'm really lucky, I might even manage to get the
migration done (there's less than 100 accounts on the Qmail install,
so it shouldn't take too long to back up and migrate).

Thanks for the assistance,
Diana
