[Fink-devel] Deprecating Postfix-release

Hey all,

I want to make the postfix package track releases and deprecate postfix-release. There are a couple of problems with this, which I've already mailed the list about ("Upgrading postfix"):

1) postfix uses YYYYMMDD versioning schemes, but the upstream package is versioned M.m.b.

Solution: continue using the YYYYMMDD scheme until someone implements epochs or whatever it is that would allow this to be fixed.

2) postfix-release needs to be deprecated.

Solution 1: Simply stop updating it and add a note to the description that it is deprecated.

Solution 2: Update it to an empty package the mails root about it being deprecated in PostInstScript.

Solution 3: ???

Comments? I prefer the second solution for problem two, since it will result in more people upgrading right away.

I want to deprecate postfix-release because I don't want to have to update postfix every time a new snapshot come out, and because it seems like overkill to have four plus postfix packages (there will be a -tls package).

If I don't get any objections in the next few days, I'll go ahead.

Thanks,
Daniel
