Hello All,
The company that runs the Parallels Panel Plesk VPS which is hosting my postfix
at my request did an upgrade from
2.3.3 to 2.8 stable and the technician wrote the following:
I have grabbed the latest version of postfix from postfix in form of the source
tarball.
The most current version is 2.8.4, which is stable. This should present no
problems instead of using 2.7
So I compiled postfix 2.8.4 as the same options as 2.3.3
Everything compiled correctly, and installed.
Also, I want to inform you why postifx 2.3.3 was on your server. The packages
included with CentOS are delivered
and maintained upstream. The CentOS devs control which versions are
automatically pushed when you install from
yum. 2.3.3 was the version found in yum. This is why I had to compile this from
source and make the exclusion in
yum.conf
I hope that things work well for you
jeses why do he not make a RPM build?
* taking a src.rpm from centOS6
* rpmbuild --rebuild postfix.rsc.rpm
* the output shows where the rpm is built
* yum --nogpgcheck localupdate your-rpm-path.rpm
NEVER do any source-install over a installed RPM and i guess yu
can not remove the rpm-package beause of dependencies
the other option would be using a prebuilt RPM
even as fedora user i guess there are some for CentOS 5
but they are not included upstream - so you have to trust the builder
Thank you!
As I'm relatively new to these things when you say take a src.rpm from
centOS6 might you mean this?
http://pkgs.org/download/centos-6-rhel-6/epel-i386/spamass-milter-postfix-0.3.1-21.el6.noarch.rpm.html
I just want to make extra sure I'm getting the right package.
Thanks
