Summary: Review Request: ssmtp https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=188400 ------- Additional Comments From wolfy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2006-04-09 21:05 EST ------- Thank for the helpful comments, Patrice ! Yes, I will need a sponsor, but I've thought I could ask for one when the package gets in a neater shape. I did consider not including smtpdaemon in provides, but this is a tough decision and I would definitely like to hear a second opinion. The problemn is that there are packages in Base (such as mdadm) which claim that they require smtpdaemon, although they make either direct use of /usr/sbin/sendmail or via the mail command. In my case I was interested exactly by the fact that I do NOT want/need to have a daemon listening on port 25. Same goes for MTA. Without the alternatives --auto call, a default mta would not be restored if the package is removed, this is why I think that the script should be kept. The reasons I have placed ssmtp in /usr/sbin are that both sendmail and postfix place the sendmail binary in /usr/sbin and so does the Debian provided ssmtp, too. Since applications actually look after /usr/sbin/sendmail which is a symlink (via alternatives mta) to the real binaries, I guess I could move ssmtp to /usr/bin. However I kind of think that maintaining the placement as chosen by the authors of the program is a good idea. New spec and src.rpm are available at http://wdl.lug.ro/linux/ssmtp/ssmtp.spec and http://wdl.lug.ro/linux/ssmtp/ssmtp-2.61-2.src.rpm , respectively. The old spec has been renamed to ssmtp.v1.spec, in case anyone whishes to compare the versions. Major changes: (hopefully) fixed a bug in the pre/post scriptlets; as suggested, dropped the double ssmtp in the files' name and the [ %{buildroot} != "/" ] test; completely removed the generate_config_alt script (I have found a bug in it and I intend to provide another script, given the time to write it; the provied ssmtp.conf file only needs 3-4 lines to be edited so I hope it's not a major burden); changed the group to Applications/Internet; renamed the patch; added openssl/openssl-devel to requires/buildrequires. Other minor changes are listed in the Changelog. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
