I just packaged up 3.4.9, but didn't have any luck packaging up 3.4.10 I
need to figure out how to get the cdb libraries in there. The mysql
libraries are easy. I also need to figure out how I can make a 3.4.10
package that doesn't have the mysql parameters compiled in. I need to
hack out some kind of .conf file or something ... Or maybe make another
dreaded -src package! AAARRRGGGHHH!!! The horror!
You can get the new vpopmail package (which replaces the vchkpw package
completely) and the new vchkpw-cgi package that will work with either
vchkpw or vpopmail at:
http://mail2.istrength.net/~jmarler/vpopmail
Source and slink .deb's are there. It also works fine under potato. No
big surprise.
The last time I checked out qmailadmin I wasn't that impressed with it.
Maybe I'll have to check it out, and package it as well.
On a side note, has anyone else noticed that Corel picked qmail as the MTA
of choice for Corel Linux? And that they are distributing a qmail binary
package inside Corel Linux as well? (With my -src packages on the source
CD) I wonder if they struck a deal with Dan, or if they just decided they
were going to do it anyways.
