Re: [qmailtoaster] Updated packages
My 2 cents... With the exception of ClamAV and Spamassasin rule sets, why is Qmailtoaster updated so much? I know I have not updated most of the applications on my toaster for 1.5 years (My last hardware migration). On a small setup, I am sure it is a lot easier to perform regular updates, but on a large one it has a potential to be a nightmare. Is there a reason why toaster is not slowed down a little? Jake, I do not know how you keep up with all the package updates and all of the problems that keep getting posted on the list. My head spins sometimes as I read it. I am surprised that qmailtoaster 1.x has not been frozen so that development of 2.x can be fully engaged. Changing the IMAP client is a big deal and I am excited that it will be done in the next release. The other item I think should be a focus is the web gui, not only the admin side which has been a recent focus on this list, but the customer side as well. I think you are doing a great job Jake. The Qmailtoaster is a great project and I really enjoy seeing the activity on the list regarding it. Gilbert - Original Message - From: Jake Vickers j...@qmailtoaster.com To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Sent: Monday, June 15, 2009 10:51 AM Subject: [qmailtoaster] Updated packages Released a new version of all packages today. Updated ClamAV to 0.95.2. Updated Squirrelmail to 1.4.19 and courier-authlib to 0.62.2. Added Mandriva 2009 support. Also added Fedora 11 and Fedora 11 x86_64 support. ClamAV is a bugfix update and Squirrelmail is a security update that is a continuation of the 1.4.18 security fix. I updated courier-authlib by accident to be honest. I was trying to get Mandriva to work and attempted to see if a newer courier-authlib package would compile cleanly but ended up finding the issue with Mandriva. Forgot to put the original package back in place and just now noticed it as I was cleaning up the old packages and archiving them. It should function just as the old one did. I did not get Mandriva 2009 x86_64 support into these packages. Mandriva 2009 renamed a lot of packages from previous editions that caused a lot of time to be spent finding the new packages names. In the 2009 x86_64 version they changed the names again and I honestly just didn't want to spend the time chasing the package names down when a new version of clamav was waiting to be put online. If someone wants to work on the Mandriva 2009 x86_64 dependency script and send me a revised version I will add the support into the packages. Otherwise it will be a while. Speaking of which, the Fedora dependency scripts could use a freshening up as well. If someone would like to go through those scripts and make sure all the relevant dependencies are covered and send me a revised edition I will be more than happy to put them online. I have moved the Qmailtoaster website to a new, faster server so if you do not see the updated packages rest assured that you will see them once DNS has propagated.

The next qmailtoaster-plus rpm is now updated. All the latest fixes are included, as well as recognition of the these latest distro versions.

The other item I think should be a focus is the web gui, not only the admin side which has been a recent focus on this list, but the customer side as well. I think you are doing a great job Jake. The Qmailtoaster is a great project and I really enjoy seeing the activity on the list regarding it. The packages are updated to add new distros and bump the software up a version or two. There was previously no development at all for Qmailtoaster for almost 2 years and since I took the project over I decided to bring some things up to date. It's your system - you don't have to update anything. I think that freezing the 1.3 branch is not a wise choice. The project lost 70% of it's contributing base when the development was previously frozen and that's not a mistake I want to continue with. I'm unclear as to what you mean by all of the problems that keep getting posted on the list. As far as I can remember this is the only real screw-up I've made to the packages and I did get them fixed in a couple hours - not like the clamav debacle. Most of the posts on the list had to do with adding new distros and the problems involved, which brings us back to the point of why I'm updating the packages. I think a project that gets updated periodically and is maintained has more of a life than a project that has not been updated in 3 or 4 years. Also not sure what you mean by a nightmare for large installations - I run these same packages on my installations as well. Some servers range from 2 users (this one) to a single server that has 3100 users to a cluster that has 40,000+ users at the moment. I find it very easy to update the packages for all of these systems as long as you do at least 15 minutes of thinking and planning ahead before just jumping into the puddle. There is a web admin gui, vqadmin. I also have QControl that does not have the problems that vqadmin does. If there's a feature that you would like to see in QControl then send me an email offlist and I will look into it. - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

I was trying to get a feel as to why there are so many package updates and why you did not hold off on updating packages and you answered that with your response.

The system is unbelivelby stable and many of the problems posted are easily fixed by the poster doing a little research though there are some advanced questions that do require someone like you to get their hands dirty. I was personally having many problems with my installation. I spent a little time, posted a couple questions on the list that were answered quickly, and got through them. I have made many modifications, some of which I forgot to document when I did my install. This has caused me many headaches. I have never used spamdyke. I just installed last month your Qmailtoaster-Plus to look at a few things that it performed. I have used a couple of the scripts but still have not gotten completely comfortable with change.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Upgrading Question
I feel the urge to post my 2-cents worth here... As a *NIX (Linux, Solaris, HP/UX, AIX, even oldies like Ultrix SunOS) Systems Administrator for more than 20 years now, and the author of at least 6 Instructor-Lead week-long courses (I don't count customizations of existing course-ware), I have always felt and taught that updates were akin to asking for trouble. In fact, every one of my courses has a slide (or screen in the video-based courses) that says specifically: If it ain't broke, don't fix it! (and it is attributed, tongue in cheek, to my great-great-grandma, Irene). As the earlier poster implied, there certainly are exceptions -- notably security patches... but except for security patches, there is no need to constantly update Linux (or other *NIX versions)! There are very few true security flaws in the *NIX world, and you certainly need to keep a look out for them patch/update when they are discovered -- but this incessant need to be running the latest greatest software WILL get you into trouble! (Not if, WHEN!) Personally, I update systems only when I HAVE TO - To apply a security patch - To add new functionality As a result, I often install old versions so that new systems are running the same OS as the old ones). A case-in-point was the Linux 2.6 kernel -- which was fully 2-years old before I installed on ANY of my systems... because I didn't need it! It wasn't until I changed hardware vendors for my RAID cards and I was forced into the 2.6 kernels that I went back to the old systems and upgraded -- and that was for MY maintenance benefit! (They haven't been updated since -- still running 2.6.18 kernels in nearly ALL of them!) Bill Gates has convinced an entire generation of System Admins that to update is divine -- and it is bull... if your system is stable, LEAVE IT ALONE!

Is there any problem performing such an upgrade since the original version installed is so far behind the current available? Not that I'm aware of. There haven't been all that many changes to the stock packages really. Mostly just support for newer distros. 2. What is the best method to go about doing this to minimize problems? qtp-newmodel. It's part of the qmailtoaster-plus package, which is found at http://qtp.qmailtoaster.com. 3. Do you have any other suggestions in doing this? You might want to do a backup first. qtp-newmodel is very safe though, so it's not really necessary. You should be backing up your data anyhow. qtp-backup works very well for this.
