Hi, I have for some time maintained a set of rpms for the exim MTA package (see http://www.exim.org/ ). The rpms are stashed on ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/rpms-for-exim/ and have been relatively widely used or forked. A variant of those rpms were used for the exim package on the old Red Hat powerpack (is that the right name) CDs. I'd like to move these rpms to a distribution set that allows them to easily maintained (from the point of view of the end user), hence looking at pushing these into the fedora project. Currently the release part of the rpm tags would not fit the fedora naming conventions. At present I intend to keep the current set until the package version number changes and then shift the release tag so as not to get version confusion between existing packages and fedora repository ones. The exim rpm spec file builds on everything from RH6 through FC1 including the RHEL 2.1 & 3 versions - these are autodetected at build time. A tag is added to the release part to specify what OS base we are building to. Since exim has a number of build option - choice of database interfaces, perl integration etc - a good number of sub packages are built, the intention being you install exim, exim-mon (optional), exim-doc (optional) and one of the exim-* packages with the particular functionality you require (exim-base for most people). Comments, flames, recommendations on integration would be welcome - well not so much the flames unless they are constructive ones :-) Nigel. -- [ Nigel Metheringham Nigel.Metheringham(a)InTechnology.co.uk ] [ - Comments in this message are my own and not ITO opinion/policy - ]
