Re: Uploaded sendmail 8.8.8-13 (source i386) to master
Calm down... The change was to use the --pidfile on start-stop-daemon
execution.
The line you quote there has been in for a very long time, before I
got the package from Johnie.
The effects of that line are simply: removal of two obsolete queue files
(lock file, id creation files), and removal of any transcript files left
from previous invocations of sendmail.
