These files are indeed obsolete, as indicated by their flags in
conf/postfix-files.  You will notice that postfix-script, postfix-files
and post-install are still placed in the $daemon_directory; their
redundant placement in $config_directory is obsolete.  Similarly,
the other files noted above were replicas of man pages which are still 
installed.

Puzzled by installation message on obsolete files/directories

2011-08-07 Thread Bernard T. Higonnet
In connection with various other problems I shall probably need help 
with later, I thought I might re-install Postfix 2.8.3 from ports in 
FreeBSD 8.2. As part of the install I get the following messages:


Note: the following files or directories still exist but are
no longer part of Postfix:

 /etc/postfix/access /etc/postfix/aliases /etc/postfix/canonical
 /etc/postfix/generic /etc/postfix/header_checks
 /etc/postfix/postfix-files /etc/postfix/relocated
 /etc/postfix/transport /etc/postfix/virtual
 /etc/postfix/postfix-script /etc/postfix/post-install


When I go to www.postfix.org I can find documentation on some of these 
files (I haven't checked them all but did check header_checks and 
transport) and there is no mention of these being obsolete!


TIA
