Bug 138192 – postfix-2.3 version bump

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Erik Logtenberg 2006-06-27 06:10:07 UTC]

Hi,

I would like to request for Postfix version 2.3 to be packaged, because version 2.3 has some nice new features that 2.2 doesn't have, which I would like to use (for example: dovecot integration and quite a few new configuration options).

I know that Postfix 2.3 hasn't yet been officially released, but the Postfix 2.3 Snapshot 20060626-nonprod is a "non-production release" that is to become the 2.3 release candidate. It would be greatly appreciated if this version could be packaged.

Kind regards,

Erik Logtenberg.

For your information, the release candidate Postfix 2.3 RC1 has been released.

See: http://postfix.it-austria.net/releases/index.html
and: http://postfix.it-austria.net/releases/experimental/postfix-2.3-RC1.tar.gz

Kind regards,

Erik Logtenberg.

Created attachment 90544 [details]
postfix-2.3_rc1.ebuild

I am having very limit time for gentoo ATM, so I don't have a chance to look at the RELEASE_NOTES for new features added. The attached ebuild is very much copy&paste with dovecot sasl support added. Please test and comment on this bug. Note that I don't use dovecot so I can't test it properly.

Thanks,
Tuan

Hi, 

So far the postfix-2.3_rc1.ebuild works for me :)

I would like to add that in the mean time we are at Release Candidate 9, available from:

http://postfix.it-austria.net/releases/index.html
http://postfix.it-austria.net/releases/experimental/postfix-2.3-RC9.tar.gz

I suppose it won't be long before Postfix-2.3 will be officially released.

Kind regards,

Erik Logtenberg.

Postfix 2.3 is officially released.

[Comment 5 Erik Logtenberg 2006-07-12 00:57:57 UTC]

Simply renaming postfix-2.3_rc1.ebuild to postfix-2.3.0.ebuild was enough to get Postfix 2.3 patchlevel 0 to install correctly. At first sight it works like a charm.

Done. Enjoy.

Thanks,
Tuan

Hi,

I noticed that in the postfix-2.3_rc1.ebuild Tuan had incorporated support for dovecot-sasl:

DEPEND= (...)
        cyrus-sasl? (  >=dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2 )
        dovecot-sasl? ( net-mail/dovecot )
        (...)

However, I see that the postfix-2.3.0.ebuild and postfix-2.3.0-r1.ebuild that are in Portage now, aren't equipped with this feature:

DEPEND= (...)
        sasl? (  >=dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2 )
        (...)

So.... how comes?

Kind regards,

Erik.

the ebuild attached to this bug isn't correct as the ebuild I committed to the tree. postfix doesn't depend on dovecot to build postfix with dovecot SASL implementation. if you have either sasl or dovecot USE-flag, you will have dovecot SASL support. check with `postconf -a`. with dovecot-sasl USE-flag postfix doesn't pull in dev-libs/cyrus-sasl and set smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot as  default. with sasl USE-flags you will have both implementation. You can switch to either one of them by set smtpd_sasl_type = <sasl_type> in main.cf
