iiuc both the centos & debian refs point to full postfix builds with "make makefiles dynamicmaps=yes ..." that split off and package the lmdb database plugin. if I've got to do the full build ANYWAY, in order to build & 'get' the db plugin to install alongside the distro-pkg'd, lmdb-less, postfix install -- there's really no point :-/ what i was digging around about was whether it was possible to build/extract/install just the plugin ... in a similar manner to phpize/compile (or pear or pecl install) a php plugin. i.e. --- lazy person's "just the plugin" install. seems N/A for F32 (that's a different issue as to WHY not?). might as well just build the whole thing myself. unless I've missed something here.
