During the review, /usr/sbin/sendmail was the first Requires/BuildRequires. The reviewer, Patrice, told me that smtp daemon was better than /usr/sbin/sendmail to allow other MTA like exim/postfix, because it was possible that the system don't have sendmail install. You tell that if a system don't have sendmail install, a /usr/sbin/sendmail Requires/BuildRequires would work? Could that be applied for FC5 and FC6? Yes. smtpdaemon is actually a worse choice because not all packages which I think would suffice for fcron provide it (and it is being debated whether even less packages should actually provide smtpdaemon than nowadays). See recent discussion on fedora-devel-list. $ repoquery --whatprovides /usr/sbin/sendmail postfix-2:2.3.3-2.x86_64 sendmail-0:8.13.8-2.x86_64 esmtp-0:0.5.1-13.fc6.x86_64 exim-0:4.63-5.fc6.x86_64 ssmtp-0:2.61-11.1.fc6.x86_64 (Oh, and please disregard the last parenthesized "MTA" sentence of the initial comment at least for now.) (In reply to comment #1) > During the review, /usr/sbin/sendmail was the first Requires/BuildRequires. > The reviewer, Patrice, told me that smtp daemon was better Not quite. The first Requires/BuildRequires was sendmail. So smtpdaemon was better but still safe. But it may be that fcron only requires /usr/sbin/sendmail Fixed, but unable to build because cannot connected to the build server. /usr/bin/plague-client build fcron fcron-3_0_2-2_fc7 devel Error connecting to build server: '(111, 'Connection refused')' make: *** [build] Erreur 1 Server or client problem? Probably a server one, just try again later. I tried several times, but always failed to connect. I'll do next week on the computer where I used to contrib on Fedora. Fixed |
