It has never been tested to work on Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Well, it works perfectly on CentOS, so I assume on RHEL as well. And it doesn't contain unwanted dependencies (like the one from rpmforge, don't know about yours) or adds spamd as a service or such that I don't want. So, it's perfect for me and it has worked for me for years and still does. So, I don't recommend not using it :-) Kai -- Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

So, I don't recommend not using it :-) I tried it with Fedora 12, and would *not* install/upgrade due to a number of unwanted dependencies. Thanks for providing a working RPM install/upgrade for Fedora, Warren! I seem to have pissed Warren off with this reply, so I just wanted to make sure that no one else misinterpreted my reply. What I was attempting to do was confirm what Warren had said in his original post (and direct in response to Kai's comment that the spec file works fine for him with CentOS), that the spec file included with the tar.gz distribution does not build and install without issue on Fedora 12, but that Warren's RPM build *does* install cleanly and without issue on Fedora 12. My apologies if this was not understood in my previous post. Bill

About the only things I see that are not absolutely strictly **REQUIRED** are Net::DNS and gnupg - and TBH, I can't see why someone would do without either for long. -kgd

I can't tell you as this was at least one year ago. I would have to change my priorities settings and then pull down an rpm from rf to see what it was. I can just tell you that once when building new VM templates I installed the one from rpmforge out of curiosity to see if I could use these instead of mine and found it pulled in dependencies I didn't want to install, maybe it was razor/pyzor, I really don't know. If it works for you that is just fine. It doesn't for me. And the one in the tarball works very well. Kai -- Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com
