Precisely for this reason, the buildlogs and SRPMS are published. If someone wishes to verify the sources and rebuild itself: wget http://oss.imt-systems.com/mstevens/el6/postfix28/postfix-2.8.0-1.el6.src.rpm rpm -ivh postfix-2.8.0-1.el6.src.rpm Verify the sources: cd rpmbuild/SOURCES/ rebuild with: cd rpmbuild/SPECS/ rpmbuild -ba postfix.spec > Those not adventurous enough to build RPMs from SRPMS, should probably > wait for the right package to appear in one of the usual "repositories". My SRPM does not come from any source ... but directly from Fedora. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=215664 Best regards, Morten
