Simon is working on it although it would appear he is having some problems
getting the srpm into a state where it will build on all of the supported
platforms. Currently I cannot get it to build on RHEL3 and I know of st least
2 other people having the same problem. 1 is on whitebox and the other I do
not know what platform/distro he is using. I really feel this is just a
variable not getting set properly as Simon has indicated it builds on
whitebox for him. I expect to see an announcment/request for testing from
him soon. IIRC the postfix-RC test rpms had TLS included.
I grabbed his latest 2.1-RC4 RPM packages and adapted it to FC1 and the
release 2.1pl0.
The big problem getting it to compile was with embedded %doc and
%install strings that silently caused rpmbuild to fail with a strange
error message. Deleting the % sign from the comments fixed the problem.
It appears that there are some patches included that are only
appropriate for 2.0 and not 2.1. Atleast they give a ton of patching
errors if you try to use them. The TLS patches are one of them.
I finally did get a package built and I'm playing around with it now,
but the lack of TLS is a problem for me right now. I was going to spend
some more time this weekend figuring out what needs to be done to get
Postfix 2.1 with TLS support. (I haven't been keeping up)
