Hi!

i compiled rpms like postfix with mysql support. My problem is when i compile programs i can't distinguish the difference between postfix w/o mysql and postfix w/ mysql because they have the same filename(postfix-2.x.x.i386.rpm), what i like to happen is when i compile postfix w/ mysql support it will show something like postfix-mysql-2.x.x.i386.rpm. so when i install and try to query it, it will show postfix-mysql-2.x.x not just postfix-2.x.x. what file should i edit to make this happen?

The postfix.spec file that you feed to rpmbuild.

Whoops..you can edit the Release version...postfix-2.x.x.mysql

Add a definition for a postfix-mysql package.

Then add a files section for the files under the postfix-mysql package.

Please ignore these two, postfix compiles the table support in and does not have loadable modules per table type so you won't be able to get a postfix-mysql package.

ok tnx guys!

Hi,

Change the .spec file. Change the release line.

may i ask what you use mysql for with postfix?

A LOT of people use MySQL with Postfix. I am one of those many. In particular, my e-mail handling solution employs 4 distinct servers, each with Postfix. MySQL (running on a dedicated server of its own) is necessary to manage them, especially because I host many virtual domains with many users and because each domain owner has control of their own e-mail accounts and aliases.

At present, I have to compile MySQL support into Postfix myself with CentOS 4 pointing at the default yum repository(ies). I don't mind doing this, but it would be nice to have a postfix-mysql RPM available.

impossible. mysql_table support is not external to the binaries so you cannot create a postfix-mysql rpm that just holds the mysql_table support binaries like say cyrus-sasl

You will need a repository that holds a postfix rpm that has mysql support compiled in.

There is some confusion here. I'll try to clarify, if the error was on my part.

I don't change the yum configuration on my CentOS 4 servers. Consequently, they remain pointed at whatever repository(ies) come stock with the OS. Consequently, I don't see a postfix-mysql package available to yum. Consequently, I have to compile MySQL support into Postfix myself from source. :)

Full-blown Postfix with MySQL enabled. :)

anyway, as Johnny has said, you can get one from Centos Plus.

I noticed; I'm not familiar with CentOS Plus; I'll look into it. The fact is, all my servers (except the Dell PowerEdge 2300 that needs the driver disk I'm trying to create in another thread) are already running CentOS 4.0 just fine and I've already done all the compiling I need. But, in case I need to add more servers, I'll be checking into CentOS Plus.

Thanks!

that cannot be called postfix-mysql...it would break system-switch-mail iirc. postfix-2.x.x.mysql is possible though. Not sure what CentosPlus has.

BTW ... there is a postfix with mysql support in the CentOSPlus repo for CentOS-4:
