Description Tomasz Torcz 2015-09-12 11:44:19 UTC
Description of problem:
There's a patch circulating, adding socket activation to libmilter. You can get it from https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879790

This patch is carried by SUSE, Mageia, Debian/Ubuntu and maybe others. According to SUSE bugreport, it was also submitted upstream.

This patch is not perfect (it hardcodes FD number and does not use LISTEN_FDS) but is good enough. Please apply it to Fedora's package. Thank you.

Thanks for the info. The patch seems to be widespread, thus applying it as is. It seems there are more services hardcoding FD number for socket activation, I think this shouldn't be problem. Also this is more portable change than including systemd headers, thus there may be better chance to be accepted by upstream.
