Description Olliver Schinagl 2008-10-03 18:27:02 UTC 
the VDA patch for postfix supplies since 2.5.4 a 64bit additional patch to better support 64bit systems. Currently postfix-2.5.5 is patched against the older 2.5.3 patch, when there's actually a 2.5.5 patch even.

The reason I noticed this is merely because I was having issues getting my quota's to work properly.

All that would need to change in the ebuild is to get
http://vda.sourceforge.net/VDA/postfix-2.5.5-vda-ng-64bit.patch.gz and patch it after patching http://vda.sourceforge.net/VDA/postfix-2.5.5-vda-ng.patch.gz for 2.5.5 for example, if it is a 64bit system.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




I have not tested it enough to say wether it actually affects quota's, I simply put my quota's at 0 and figured i'd be done with it for now.

I updated the VDA patch to 2.5.5 in postfix-2.5.5-r1.

I also mailed the author on whether the 64bit patch has been developed on/for amd64 or has been tested on other 64bit architectures as well.

ping timeout.
Comment 4 Wolfram Schlich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-06-09 07:04:03 UTC 
JFYI, there's a patch for Postfix 2.6.1 (mainly type changes)
whereas the ebuild for 2.6.2 still uses the VDA patch for 2.5.5.

http://vda.sourceforge.net/VDA/postfix-2.6.1-vda-ng.patch.gz

I guess a patch for 2.6.2 will follow...

Indeed. Now included in 2.6.2-r1.
