There are now Linux Mandrake qmail RPMs available for testing. They
are not part of the Linux Mandrake distribution, which I hope will
change (once I get DJB's blessing I hope!). The following packages are
part of the package:
qmail-1.03-7mdk.i386.rpm
daemontools-0.70-3mdk.i386.rpm
dot-forward-0.51-2mdk.i386.rpm
fastforward-0.51-2mdk.i386.rpm
ucspi-tcp-0.88-3mdk.i386.rpm
I have tested these packages on my own system and they work very well
out of the box. No patches are applied, the installed system is a
pristine system identical to a regular qmail compilation/installation
with the following exceptions:
- manpages are bzipped
- symlink from /var/qmail/man/* to /usr/share/man/*
- manpages are added to daemontools and ucspi-tcp
- uid/gid info for qmail is hardcoded in the spec file (this helps to
preserve permissions across re-installs instead of having different
uid/gid info on various installs)
All of these packages together will setup qmail on a Linux Mandrake
system (and, most likely, any other RPM-based distribution although I
can't guarantee this). They were built on a Linux Mandrake 7.1 system.
Any Linux Mandrake users: please test/try these packages (if you wish)
and help to get them approvied by D. J. Bernstein so we can include
them in the main Linux Mandrake distribution, or at the very least, as
part of the RPM contributions.
Please, when testing, make sure they comply with
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html and
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/var-qmail.html. This is the only way they will
be approved by DJB, so if there are any discrepencies, please let me
know.
You can download the RPMs from:
ftp://ftp.freezer-burn.org/pub/custom/{qmail,daemontools,ucspi-tcp,...}
or
www.freezer-burn.org/rpm.php3
Thanks.

I thought it was necessary to get his direct "yes you can distribute it" permission prior to doing so... for myself, I'm not too concerned because I've tested and re-tested so that it installs good, removes clean, and works out of the box. My concern was putting it on the Mandrake distro itself as I don't want them to get into any legal issues... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net // Danen Consulting Serviceswww.danen.net, www.freezer-burn.org // MandrakeSoft, Inc. www.linux-mandrake.com 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux uptime: 1 day 4 hours 17 minutes.

I'll have to look at this again... Maybe I misunderstood something. Changing the name of the RPM is no big deal. And yes, it does set it up as MTA. > o You included man-pages in daemontools and ucspi-tcp packages. Put them in > extra packages. Why? Are there licensing issues with daemontools and ucspi-tcp that prevent me from distributing manpages with it? If there are, I'll definately do it, but if there aren't, then I don't see why I should make someone install two extra RPMs just for manpages (seems kinda silly to me). > o there allready are qmail rpms? Not for Mandrake and not in binary form. I've used Bruce's RPM package before and although it works great, it's not something that can be installed without interaction like during a fresh system install off of a CD-ROM (which is ultimately the aim here). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net // Danen Consulting Serviceswww.danen.net, www.freezer-burn.org // MandrakeSoft, Inc. www.linux-mandrake.com 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux uptime: 1 day 8 hours 37 minutes.
