18 outstanding bugs - check for outstanding bugs on package.

Issues:

1. Suggest: add a %{?dist} to release? Makes keeping several branches in sync much
easier.

2. You should use the approved buildroot:

      %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)

3. 2.3.7 is out. Perhaps upgrade to that?

4. On mysql and pgsql support. Could both of those be enabled in subpackages?
ie, postfix-pgsql, postfix-mysql? They can be quite usefull, and I don't know
of any reason to not include them.

5. Shouldn't pflogsumm be it's own package? It has a separate upstream source.
Was there a reason to include it in this package?
Also, it has no dependency on postfix, but it installs a doc file into the
postfix docdir, meaning if postfix wasn't installed and this package was installed,
then removed, you will be left with a lingering postfix doc dir with nothing in it.
If it was separate, it could also be noarch.
6. Our pal rpmlint is doing quite a bit of talking on this package.

a)

W: postfix prereq-use /sbin/chkconfig, /sbin/service, sh-utils
W: postfix prereq-use fileutils, textutils,
W: postfix prereq-use /usr/sbin/alternatives
W: postfix prereq-use %{_sbindir}/groupadd, %{_sbindir}/useradd

The use of PreReq is deprecated. In the majority of cases, a plain Requires
is enough and the right thing to do. Sometimes Requires(pre), Requires(post),
Requires(preun) and/or Requires(postun) can also be used instead of PreReq.

Take a look at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets#head-97754e2c646616c5f6222f0cfc6923c60765133e

b)

W: postfix unversioned-explicit-provides MTA
W: postfix unversioned-explicit-provides smtpd
W: postfix unversioned-explicit-provides smtpdaemon
W: postfix unversioned-explicit-provides /usr/bin/newaliases
W: postfix unversioned-explicit-provides /usr/sbin/sendmail
W: postfix unversioned-explicit-provides /usr/bin/mailq
W: postfix unversioned-explicit-provides /usr/bin/rmail
E: postfix hardcoded-library-path in $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib
E: postfix hardcoded-library-path in $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib
E: postfix hardcoded-library-path in /usr/lib/sendmail.postfix
E: postfix hardcoded-library-path in /usr/lib/sendmail.postfix

These are due to the alternatives setup. I think this can be ignored.

c)
E: postfix use-of-RPM_SOURCE_DIR

Suggest: replace %{_sourcedir} with $SOURCE1 ?

d)

W: postfix macro-in-%changelog _docdir

Suggest: change macro to use %% in the changelog instead of %

e)
W: postfix mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 27, tab: line 315)

Suggest: fix to all tabs or all spaces?

f)
E: postfix only-non-binary-in-usr-lib

This is the pfloggsum subpackage. If it was split out to it's own package
it could be noarch.

g)
W: postfix conffile-without-noreplace-flag /etc/rc.d/init.d/postfix
E: postfix executable-marked-as-config-file /etc/rc.d/init.d/postfix

Suggest: should not mark that init file as conf?

h) 
E: postfix file-in-usr-marked-as-conffile /usr/lib64/sasl/smtpd.conf
E: postfix file-in-usr-marked-as-conffile /usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf

Might be a bug in cyrus-sasl putting it's config files there, but
not postfix's fault. 

i)
W: postfix service-default-enabled /etc/rc.d/init.d/postfix

Suggest: Do no enable by default in the init file. 

j) All these can be ignored I think. Please examine them and
confirm that the permissions and uids are correct:

E: postfix non-standard-uid /var/spool/postfix/trace postfix
E: postfix non-standard-dir-perm /var/spool/postfix/trace 0700
E: postfix non-standard-gid /usr/sbin/postqueue postdrop

E: postfix non-standard-uid /var/spool/postfix/hold postfix
E: postfix non-standard-dir-perm /var/spool/postfix/hold 0700
E: postfix non-standard-uid /var/spool/postfix/maildrop postfix
E: postfix non-standard-gid /var/spool/postfix/maildrop postdrop
E: postfix non-standard-dir-perm /var/spool/postfix/maildrop 0730

7. The dependencies on perl here all seem to be due to the qshape script.
Would it be worth splitting that script out as well?
That would remove:
perl(File::Find)
perl(Getopt::Std)
perl(IO::File)
perl(strict)
/usr/bin/perl
Requires from the postfix package.

8. 18 outstanding bugs. Several of them seem related directly to the packaging.
Perhaps address those as part of the review here?

9. The LDAP conditionals mention redhat 8.0. Can we now just drop that stuff
for f7/fc6/fc5?

10. Some unneeded Buildrequires:
BuildRequires: gawk, perl, sed, ed, db4-devel, pkgconfig, zlib-devel
See: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Exceptions

Can remove perl, sed at least, and possibly gawk and ed.

11. In the pfloggsumm subpackage
Requires: perl-Date-Calc
is not needed. rpm picks up on that itself.

12. Why is the
umask 022
line there in %build and %install and several other sections?

13. Might use %{?_smp_mflags} in the make line to speed up build times?

Once you have addressed these items (either by making the suggested changes, or
by explaining why they don't make sense), please reassign this review back 
to me, and change the 'fedora-review' flag back to ? for me to take action.
