Hints and tips for Postfix packagers
|
||||
====================================
|
||||
|
||||
1) The installed main.cf file must be small. PLEASE resist the
|
||||
temptation to list all 100 million Postfix parameters in the main.cf
|
||||
file. Postfix is supposed to be easy to configure. Listing all
|
||||
100 million parameters in main.cf defeats the purpose.
|
||||
|
||||
2) Please provide the sample-xxx files. If these files are not
|
||||
installed in the same directory as main.cf, PLEASE update the notice
|
||||
at the top of main.cf that advises the user of the existence of
|
||||
the sample-xxx files. Without the sample-xxx files, Postfix will
|
||||
be much more difficult to configure.
|
||||
|
||||
Building a package for distribution to other systems
|
||||
====================================================
|
||||
|
||||
You can build a Postfix package on a machine that does not have
|
||||
Postfix installed on it. All you need is Postfix source code and
|
||||
a compilation environment that is compatible with the target system.
|
||||
|
||||
You can build a pre-built Postfix package as an unprivileged user,
|
||||
but the result will be cleaner if you build the package as root.
|
||||
|
||||
After successful Postfix compilation, execute:
|
||||
|
||||
% sh postfix-install
|
||||
|
||||
You will be prompted for installation parameters. Specify an
|
||||
install_root directory other than /. The mail_owner and setgid_group
|
||||
installation parameter settings will be recorded in the main.cf
|
||||
file, but they won't take effect until the package is unpacked and
|
||||
installed on the destination machine.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to fully automate the process, specify all the non-default
|
||||
installation parameters on the command line:
|
||||
|
||||
% sh postfix-install -non-interactive install_root=/some/where ...
|
||||
|
||||
Begin Security Alert.
|
||||
|
||||
When building an archive for distribution, be sure to archive only
|
||||
files and symbolic links, not their parent directories. Otherwise,
|
||||
unpacking a pre-built Postfix package may mess up permission and/or
|
||||
ownership of system directories such as / /etc /usr /usr/bin /var
|
||||
/var/spool and so on. This is especially an issue if you executed
|
||||
postfix-install (see above) as an unprivileged user.
|
||||
|
||||
End Security Alert.
|
||||
|
||||
Thus, instead of simply tarring up a pre-built tree it is much
|
||||
safer if you jump the following hoops:
|
||||
|
||||
% cd /install/root
|
||||
% rm -f /some/where/outputfile
|
||||
% find . \! -type d -print | xargs tar rf /some/where/outputfile
|
||||
% gzip /some/where/outputfile
|
||||
|
||||
Installing a pre-built Postfix package
|
||||
======================================
|
||||
|
||||
To unpack a pre-built Postfix package, execute the equivalent of:
|
||||
|
||||
# umask 022
|
||||
# gzip -d <outputfile.tar.gz | (cd / ; tar xvpf -)
|
||||
|
||||
The umask command is necessary for getting the correct permissions
|
||||
on non-Postfix directories that need to be created in the process.
|
||||
|
||||
Create the necessary mail_owner account and setgid_group group for
|
||||
exclusive use by Postfix.
|
||||
|
||||
Execute the post-install script in the Postfix configuration
|
||||
directory to set ownership and permission of Postfix files and
|
||||
directories. Specify any non-default settings for mail_owner or
|
||||
setgid_group on the post-install command line:
|
||||
|
||||
# sh post-install upgrade-package setgid_group=xxx mail_owner=yyy
|
||||
|
||||
This will also update the main.cf and master.cf files if necessary.
