I'm the originator of this PR; a word if I may... Please consider starting Postfix with its own /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix.sh. I personally never understood (until today) why this file wasn't created, and why my freshly installed Postfix was not started. I ended up writing the file myself. When I say "sendmail_enable=NO" in my /etc/rc.conf, as I always do, I mean precisely that, i.e. "do not enable f%ing sendmail, I want to use something else". I understand today this was done on purpose, in the hope to smoothly integrate Postfix into the base system. But I tend to believe that, like many users, when I choose Postfix, I do so *explicitely*, in full knowledge that I may encounter some quirks. While most (all?) of those quirks have now been taken care of by /etc/mail (kudos to the person who came up with this), it looks wrong to use "sendmail_enable" to enable Postfix. Either rename that variable to "smtpserver_enable" or something, or start Postfix separately. I trust the ports maintainers to come up with the best possible solution. Thank you for your time. --Renaud ----- Original Message ----- From: Blaz Zupan <blaz@amis.net> To: Jun Kuriyama <kuriyama@imgsrc.co.jp> Cc: <freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG> Subject: Re: ports/25967: Postfix port links against the static MySQL client library Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2001 20:04:08 +0100 (CET) > Can you check PR ports/25967? > http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=25967 I just experienced a problem because of this patch. Until now, postfix has been started using sendmail_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf. But now this does not work because at this point /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-client.sh has not been run yet and thus ldconfig has not been run so libmysqlclient is not yet available. Postfix fails to start. There are two possible fixes: either revert the patch or make the postfix port install /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix.sh. ----- Original Message ----- From: <kuriyama@FreeBSD.org> To: <renaud+freebsd-bugs@waldura.org>; <kuriyama@FreeBSD.org>; <freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.org> Sent: Friday, March 23, 2001 6:42 PM Subject: Re: ports/25967: Postfix port links against the static MySQL client library > Synopsis: Postfix port links against the static MySQL client library > > State-Changed-From-To: open->closed > State-Changed-By: kuriyama > State-Changed-When: Fri Mar 23 17:42:13 PST 2001 > State-Changed-Why: > Committed, thanks! > > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=25967 > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
