hi,
what I really would like to see in rh 7.0 is a bit smarter updater.
I see that the updater are getting better and better so after an upgrade
almost everything working (just have to find rpmsave and rpmnew), but
one thing which always wrong is some daemon not suuported by rh. the main
problem es sendmail. it'd be nice to try to detect some well-known mta
like qmial, postfix ... currently after an update sendmail is installed
in any case (if I know well you can't unselect it even in expert mode,
but it's true at least in normal modes). which result if you have a
qmail, postfix... installed on the system, the /usr/sbin/sendmail (from
the new sendmail package) overwrite the old one. and it's quite hard
to recognise (after some version it can be a routine..when you see mta
is not working). now that even rh support (in powertools) postfix at
least that version (but I'd be happy if others too).
I thing the same problem with the wu* stuff (which IMHO whould be useful
to eliminate in any case, and I see cyrus in powertools:-) and may be
with some other daemon. I see it's not an easy think and it requires
some kind of hack, but it'd be very useful (not to mentions some clever
tools which try to extract old configuration settings and put them into
the new config files:-) ohh))
yours.
