Yes, as long as we want the docs under /usr/share/doc/${PF}/ - the
Gentoo norm. Alternative might be not to install the readme|html files
via the doc USE flag.
Not that I mind, but this is getting off-topic.

It would be great to remove it from main.cf. Also: "home_mailbox" is set at the bottom of the file. Why not set it directly below the examples for that parameter? Philipp

Hmm, that's a failure on our part. >=postfix-2.9 ebuilds is better in this regard. Ideally, only readme_directory and html_directory settings should come up in dispatch.conf. If you are still having problems during upgrades in postfix-2.9.x versions, please let me know. -- Eray Aslan

I would certainly appreciate it myself, since postfix config file changes are usually pretty hard to review for merges. Cheers, Dirkjan

Well, the sysadmin runs dispatch-conf, a new daemon_directory setting comes up and he goes WTF? I am trying to avoid that WTF moment. There was a few complaints in gentoo-user ML and a bug report when it was introduced to ~arch. It seems people do not pay too much attention to ewarn messages. Having said that, I am not sure if it is really news-item material. If the general consensus is that a news item is not needed, I will follow along. -- Eray Aslan

[gentoo-dev] news item: upgrading to postfix-2.9
I'd like to commit the following news item on 2012-07-21. Any comments? -- Eray Aslan Title: Upgrading to postfix-2.9 Author: Eray Aslan Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2012-07-17 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Installed: =mail-mta/postfix-2.9 are installed under /usr/libexec/postfix. Please do not forget to adjust your main.cf by running etc-update/dispatch-conf or similar and accepting the new daemon_directory setting. Otherwise, postfix will not be able to find the binaries it is looking for.
