[Postfix RPMs] postfix-2.1.4-5 SRPM available [with new automatic build script]

[Simon J Mudd]

I have uploaded to my ftp/web site a new source RPM (no binaries).  This 
is intended for testing the build procedures using options not present in 
the "standard" binary RPM.

Changes since previous version
------------------------------

- add new script make-postfix.rpm which simplifies rebuilding the binary
   RPM, optionally allowing you to use the configuration options defined
   in the currently installed rpm, or from another postfix.spec.cf file.

This src rpm should build on RedHat 7.2, 7.3, 8, 9, Fedora Core and RedHat 
Entreprise 3.

There is NO functional change of the binary rpms so no upgrade is needed. 
However I would appreciate any feedback on success or failure of this new 
simplified build procedure.

Below is an extract from postfix.spec.cf which indicates how the new 
make-postfix.rpm script can be used:

# 2. POSTFIX RPM [RE-]BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS
#
# To rebuild the rpm you MUST first download and install the Postfix source
# RPM. Options 2.1 and 2.2 assume that you have a recent version of my RPM
# installed which includes /etc/postfix/postfix.spec.cf.
#
# Once you have installed the source RPM do the following:
#
# 2.1 Upgrading the build with the same options as your running system
#
#       # Create some temporary variables for building
#       SRC=`rpm --eval '%{_sourcedir}' | sed 's;%{name};postfix;'`
#
#       # Build the rpm
#       sh ${SRC}/make-postfix.rpm -cu
#
# 2.2 Upgrading the build with the same options as another running system
#
#       # Create some temporary variables for building
#       SRC=`rpm --eval '%{_sourcedir}' | sed 's;%{name};postfix;'`
#
#       # Build the rpm
#       sh ${SRC}/make-postfix.rpm -cf /path/to/postfix.spec.cf
#
# 2.3 Building postfix with specific options
#
#       # Create some temporary variables for building
#       SRC=`rpm --eval '%{_sourcedir}' | sed 's;%{name};postfix;'`
#
#       # Set the appropriate environment variables for building the spec file
#       export POSTFIX_TLS=1        # for example
#       export POSTFIX_PCRE=1       # for example
#
#       # Build the rpm
#       sh ${SRC}/make-postfix.rpm
#
# In all cases the result is a new source and binary rpm suitable for
# the distribution you are using.
#
# make-postfix.rpm -h gives help on the script's usage
