Exim 4.73

Exim 4.73 was released a few days ago. Are there any plans to offer
Exim 4.73 rpms any time soon?

The Exim packages are categorized as yellow as "testing packages are
provided on a "works for me" basis.". As an FYI, the Exim binaries
(exim and exim-mysql) have worked perfectly on my CentOS 5.0 - 5.5
machines for over 2 years.

Thanks for a great repository!

Gordon

Exim 4.73 [In reply to]

Thanks for adding exim and exim-mysql version 4.73 to the repo!

I do, however, have one question. That is, yum requires the installation of postgresql84-libs as a dependency when installing the rpm using "yum localinstall exim-4.73-42.el5.i386.rpm exim-mysql-4.73-42.el5.i386.rpm". So, my question is why do the exim and exim-mysql RPMs require a PostgreSQL library? They never have in the past and it doesn't make sense why a MySQL version would require PostgreSQL libraries.

Thanks,

Gordon

Thanks for the heads-up, I did them on Tuesday.

The packages remain in "testing" as an indication that there are vendor
supplied packages that these packages would update. This is done so that
RHEL5/CentOS5/SL5 users subscribing only to "stable" can be sure that no
package from the vendor is being replaced.

E.g. the "testing" packages are actually quite stable as you mention and
ATrpms needs a restructuring in the repo names.

You are welcome!

What does

rpm --test -e postgresql84-libs

say? It should reveal the package(s) that is(are) pulling it in.

Hi Axel,

Here you go:

$ rpm --test -e postgresql84-libs
error: Failed dependencies:
libpq.so.5 is needed by (installed) exim-4.73-42.el5.i386

I hope that this helps. Thanks again!

Gordon

Hm, sorry, there is little we can do about that. This dependency comes
from /usr/sbin/exim, e.g. we cannot split this out into another package.

Hi Axel,

That is strange and there are not any recent comments regarding the
inclusion of postgresSQL libraries in exim on the exim development
mailing lists. Something has changed but why?

I'm not sure that's true, the exim-4.66-29.el4 rpm I have from atrpms
(dated three years ago) requires libpq.so.3 which in turn would pull in
postgresql-libs-7.4.30.

postgresql-libs is only a 380K package and doesn't require the
postgresql server so it's no biggie for me to have it installed.

The vendor exim packages don't require the postgresql-libs but of course
they don't support the use of a postgresql database.

Cheers,

John.

It isn't new, I check all binaries on ATrpms and it is present at least
as far back as 4.69, probably much longer.
