Wow... Excellent news!
I agree, qmt is much more than just qmail. The toaster is the toaster,
qmail is qmail.
Should definitely be kept separate.
DJB, if you read this list, a big thanks!

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

The QmailToaster will not be merged into some other repo. I will be
creating a repo for the QmailToaster only.
This is because automatic updates for things in rpmforge are okay, but
require a little special care on the QmailToaster.
For example if you update spamassassin while the server is live,
spamassassin will no longer be able to find the supplemental files
needed and crash. A newer clamdscan trying to access an older clamd
may crash.
Because of this there will be a qmailtoaster repo and an update
script, to be run via cron or manually, that does the following:
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.
Thanks,
Erik
