[vchkpw] vpopmail now hosted in a Subversion repository
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The conversion has gone through, and I've disabled CVS and enabled SVN. In other news, I've made some significant progress on the usage daemon code. The last item I really need to get nailed down before a beta release to developers is proper handling of requests when queuing. All the code is there, I just need to restructure where calls are made that fill in the cached information. When I have a beta version ready, I will let the list know so I can find out if there's anyone interested in testing. - -- /* Matt Brookings m...@inter7.com GnuPG Key D9414F70 Software developer Systems technician Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.

Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail now hosted in a Subversion repository
Is there a way to include a flag to allow non-root install (like in
clamav)? It makes easy the process of packaging RPMs.
For now I'm using the attached patch (5.4.27).

Great! When it's ready, I'll send an email to the list along with a
description
of what testing will entail and what will be required of potential beta
testers.

Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail now hosted in a Subversion repository
When using some build environment to package It's not allowed to add user's and groups into the chroot so the lines with -o @vpopuser@ and -g @vpopgroup@ will fail. We just add the user, group and ownership in another section in the spec file. (The compilation flag can solve the problem inserting/removing the code for user and group permission).
