It does work. It installs, you then set up the conf file for your
specific setup.
Unless you have a way of packaging it so that you download
CLAMAV for POSTFIX filtered through AMAVISD-NEW using SPAMASSASSIN
with options (XYZ) preset.rpm
And rewrite all the configs for those files in turn so it doesn't
upset your site-specific info...
THAT was what he was asking for.
Calling him lazy is obscuring and sidestepping the actual problem.
It's
also pointless, since if you've read the subject line, you already
know
that he's lazy. He's admitted it, hooray, you win.
YAY! Let's have devs go out of their way to help someone too lazy to
do the most basic steps. If he's that lazy and ignorant, what makes
you think he'd even work with packagers to assist in customizing a
package for him?
If some packages install without difficulty and others do not, then
how
about we work together to bring the less efficient packages in line
with
the more effective ones?
Now see, that's a reasonably worded request, but see, he didn't do
that. He said he's ignorant, this stuff takes (/whine) too much
effort to configure(/whine), and wants someone to do it for him as a
package.
It's called outsourcing.
