As I am putting on the finishing touches on a var-qmail package, the
following occured to me:

1) In BIN.Makefile, I see:

   # showing the positions of each byte in the following ten ints:
   # uida, uidd, uidl, uido, uidp, uidq, uidr, uids, gidq, gidn.

Are not these supposed to be auto_uida, auto_uidd ?

2) If a Makefile is supposed to be put in a var-qmail package, then it
is also needed that the box doing the installation has make
installed.  On the other hand, I thought one of the purposes of a
binary package is to be able to install qmail on machines which have
no productions environment whatsoever.

What if I replace the Makefile with a shellscript?

3) Describing the compilation environment in BIN.README, is it enough
if I disclose the gcc and glibc version, or I should list all the
shared libraries used?

Thx

Mate
