http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/server/mail.html#exim was "Last updated on 2006-06-21 11:26:07 -0500", and seems to have rather too many old version numbers. The references to *exim-4.43-2 should, of course, be updated to the relevant version (4.61 in Book, though 4.63 is bang up-to-date as I type). Similarly, the Web documentation for 4.6x should be used rather than the old 4.4x documentation: the site currently has a link to http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.62/doc/html/spec_html/index.html .
Thanks, Bernard. First, the references should be easy to fix. Normally this happens because there's an xsl entity that's the package version, in this case 4.61. But, in some places this isn't quite right, like with 4.43-2, and you have to put the numbers in manually. These are easy to forget when updating a package and bumping up the version entity. Next, would you check if there's a ticket open for exim-4.63 and open one if there isn't. On this front, I don't think there are any current active editors who use exim. So, if you'd like to put the relevant update info in the ticket, that would help tremendously. If you'd really like to dig into it, you could generate a diff for the book. I can give you some pointers on this if you'd like. (I've been thinking about putting a Hacking page in the Wiki that would describe these steps.)
I think that you should at least mention the tarballs of pre-built documentation in various formats which are distributed along with the sources. They are certainly on the master server at http://www.exim.org/ftp/exim4/ . They are named exim-{html,pdf,postscript,texinfo}-<version>.tar.bz2 , and are available for **4.6{0,1,2,3} releases, among others.
Excellent. Absolutely, this should be in the book. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
