Oh yes, patch, patch ... welcome to patching hell if you run qmail or any other djb ware :)Yeah we tech folk hate patching.
I like it - as long as I dont have to spend all my time on it. Take qmail for instance - or at least netqmail that adds a set of patches to make qmail borderline modern and usable (e&oe the "comparison table" that rates it against sendmail 8.8, exim 2.x etc) Add a couple more patches for tls, smtp auth etc, then try patching for (say) mysql or ldap support. Too many patches, none of which are guaranteed to play well with each other without some re-patching If djb would just have done what most other mta authors (especially Wietse Venema and Philip Hazel) do, and be more open to rolling contributed patches into qmail, or into other software he's written, well it'd be more usable But right now, if you are running anything other than a barebones mta, or barebones dns, if you want to spend your time doing other things than being a coding slave .. have fun running djbware --srs (who needs a barebones dns server and resolver, so installed tinydns) -- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.lists () gmail com)
