Hi, dynamically loaded database plugins has been supported in Debian by downstream patch for a while. This patch went finally upstream, so I am also introducing this feature in Fedora Rawhide (f23). Previously, all database map support libraries were linked to the Postfix binary, which required careful downstream selection of what libraries to support and link. For users there was no way how to remove the unneeded dependencies from the Postfix package (not counting recompilation). With the recent Postfix change (since postfix-3.0.0-4.fc23), users can choose database maps they want by simply installing appropriate Postfix subpackage(s). This also allows us to support more types of database maps without adding additional dependencies to the Postfix base package. The following Postfix subpackages were introduced in Rawhide: postfix-cdb postfix-ldap postfix-mysql postfix-pcre postfix-pgsql postfix-sqlite For users upgrading Postfix package in Rawhide it effectively means that they need to install subpackages for all database maps they use. E.g. if they use MySQL and LDAP maps, they need to install postfix-mysql and postfix-ldap subpackages in addition to the base Postfix package, otherwise their postfix setup will not work correctly. I will probably propose f23 Change for this feature later thanks & regards Jaroslav -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
