Additionally, no effort is made to maintain compatibility, unike
the rest of Postfix.

question on missing binaries after build

[Quanah Gibson-Mount]

Going to try this again, as the original message was blocked by a filter...

I noticed when building 3.0.3, there is a srcdir/bin created.

This has the following contents:

postalias  postconf  postfix   postlock  postmappostqueue 
posttls-finger  qmqp-source  smtp-sink
postcatpostdrop  postkick  postlog   postmulti  postsuper  qmqp-sink 
sendmail smtp-source



However, when doing "make install" a few of these do not end up being 
installed:


posttls-finger
qmqp-sink
qmqp-source
smtp-sink
smtp-source

Are these utilities not considered generally worthy of inclusion in a 
postfix build?


Thanks,
Quanah

These debugging tools are not required parts of the core Postfix
package.  They are optional.  It is not a question of "worthy",
rather essential, vs. not essential.

Thanks.  We received a request to include posttls-finger, so was curious 
why it wasn't present by default.
