Summary: Review Request: ssmtp https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=188400 ------- Additional Comments From pertusus@xxxxxxx 2006-04-11 10:51 EST ------- (In reply to comment #6) > * the 'Provides: smtpdaemon' is right; afais, it is used by other > packages to express a requirement on a sendmail compatible CLI > tool. Interpreting it as something which listens on a TCP port does > not make sense because the daemon might be running on another host > which can not be controlled by the local package-manager It is not exactly what I concluded after that: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66396 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=165957 There seems to be some disension and confusion on that matter. I don't have a firm opinion on that, but the fetchmail case seems to indicate that smtpdaemon is used to indicate a smtp daemon running locally on port 25. I agree that it doesn't make that much sense because having such a daemon installed doesn't mean that it is actually started, nor that it has not been tuned to ignore messages for some users, or listen on another port (or not listen at all...). If there isn't such package, however, it is certain that there is no local smtp daemon... > | %install > | rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT > | %makeinstall etcdir='$(sysconfdir)' GEN_CONFIG=/bin/true mandir="$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%_mandir/man8" > | install -p -m644 ssmtp.conf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%_sysconfdir/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf This should work. A longuer version with an explicit overwritting of used variables on a make install line (instead on %makeinstall) would be even more suitable, in my opinion, given that the Makefile.in is done by hand. But %makeinstall and specific overriding seems fine to me too. Something along (haven't tested) make install bindir=%{buildroot}%{_sbindir} \ etcdir=%{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir} GEN_CONFIG=/bin/true mandir="%{buildroot}%_mandir/man8" > I does not include your alternatives symlinks but is nevertheless a > little bit shorter. There are also some more manpages, and the following lines are still usefull, do it must be longer anyway :-/: mkdir %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/ install -D -m 644 debian/mailq.8 %{buildroot}%{_mandir}/man1/mailq.ssmtp.1 install -m 644 debian/newaliases.8 %{buildroot}%{_mandir}/man1/newaliases.ssmtp.1 install -D -m 644 ssmtp.conf.5 %{buildroot}%{_mandir}/man5/ssmtp.conf.5 ln -s %{_sbindir}/ssmtp %{buildroot}%{_sbindir}/sendmail.ssmtp ln -s %{_sbindir}/ssmtp %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/newaliases.ssmtp ln -s %{_sbindir}/ssmtp %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/mailq.ssmtp -- 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
