Hi Erik,
This is great. And your plan is solid.

Nick

>
> 1) Shut down qmail
> 2) Run yum --enablerepo=qmailtoaster update, as our repo file will
> always be enabled=0
> 3) Qmail cdb
> 4) Start Qmail
>
> Also, all config files are going to be broken out into a separate rpm
> just for config files called config-toaster. This will never be
> updated, to ensure that your configs persist after every update.

> Hope this helps clarify things a bit.
