Well, --with-authenticate is really an AIX specific option. So adding a generic "with_aixauth" seems to be strange. All OpenPKG package options should be cross-platform ones. But this is usually no problem for you as you are already using the OpenPKG development environment. Just reduce this change to the simple addition of --with-authenticate and "maintain" this change locally by merging our upstream changes and this trivial local change with "cvs up" from time to time. Add an organization suffix like ".foo" to your Release header in this package so you easily can recognize that this package is a locally modified one. > POSTFIX > This package (like many others) assumes IBM's XLC compiler and fails unless > -Duse_cc=gcc is used. This should be forced for AIX. Hmmm... this unfortunately is a problem. If we force it to use GCC this means all AIX users have to be a vendor GCC installed. Although I think this might be the case anyway, it at least is a strange external dependency. Perhaps it is better to just locally ensure that the OpenPKG "gcc" package is always present in your instances under AIX? Ralf S.
