First of all hello dear fedora contributors. I'm new on this list, so
please be indulgent if I don't follow all the rules yet. And excuse my
(sometimes) poor english, that's because I'm French.
My question was for the spin maintainers : There is a feature (nearing
completion) that was created in order to remove the default MTA from the
default install. As of today I downloaded the Fedora 14 beta KDE x86_64
live spin (by the way, great job and thank you, the KDE integration is
better than ever, still a few quirks, but everyone on the bugzilla is
reactive when kindly asked) and have seen sendmail still installed and
sendmail service enabled by default. But the feature allows for
uninstallation, without compromising the rest of the system. Try a 'yum
remove sendmail' : it *IS* definitely possible to remove it without
having redhat-lsb, cron and a bunch of things removed.
So (here it comes) why not remove sendmail from the default spins I
think the spins are desktop-oriented and desktop users don't need MTA,
right ? It could help save 1.5M according to yum, and allow faster boot
of the live spin.
That was just a suggestion, what is your opinion ?
regards,
Corentin
