Yes. I said that for Debian. I didn't know about the RPMs. What I should have said is that I hadn't seen it recommended in the documentation that comes with qpsmtpd. > > > There is a debian package of 0.32 for the pending release (etch) and > > this would use the "make install" version but Debian does their own > q.a. > > and patches. > > I can't speak for Devin, but as the maintainer of the RPMs I can say > that I do try to get any changes necessary back upstream (not always I'm sure he does. It's Debian policy. I unpacked the source package and it looked completely compliant. Unfortunately, I don't know the dpkg toolset well enough to tell from the source what the installed version would look like. I was planning to try it on a test system but discovered I needed some of the post 0.32 features. > to > the delight of the core maintainers :-)). Are there any critical changes required for 0.32 ? Presumably you still have to create a user to run it or does it run under an existing user (presumably the postfix one) ? I apologize if I missed this documented somewhere ... just point me at the docs if they exist. -- --gh
