makemap build and install issues

[dfateyev]

In the recent portable snapshot "201506020910p1" the "makemap" utility isn't built and installed, along with "newaliases" link and appropriate man-files for both. Although they were presented in the latest stable release.

The latest stable, 5.4.5, is a minor release it only contains cumulative bug-fixes since 5.4.1 that was released a year and a half ago, whereas our snapshots are taken from the master branch which is very very current (commit 6 days ago), don't expect them to look alike ;-)

To answer your concern, the -db support has been a recurrent request for removal, people generally don't want it and don't want to depend on it. I had a bit of objection because it's such a historical feature, it just needs to be around, however with a new major release, we can keep it around as a configure option.

The --enable-table-db option will build table_db, makemap and create the newaliases link

OK, thanks. I missed that we need "--enable-table-db" for bdb4 from now on.

This will be starting with next major release.

We're unfortunately going to have to publish a minor release very shortly
despite the major release being very close.

The minor release, 5.4.6, will be exactly like last stable release + fix,
so the db dependency is still part of it.

Is the "--enable-table-db" switch no longer operational?
Quickly built the recent snapshot with previously worked options set, and haven't got "makemap" again.

[poolpOrg]

It should still be operational but there's been a merge of makemap inside smtpctl and there's probably a packaging fix to do.

Ticket reopened, working on it

Hi,

Can you guys get back to me regarding this ?

We published a snapshot with the smtpctl / makemap merge.

Please note that we gave up on trying to handle mailwrapper vs non-mailwrapper systems so it is up to the individual systems to decide if they want makemap/mailq/newaliases utilities and to create the appropriate hardlink (symlink will do) to smtpctl.

Waiting for feedback to close ticket !

[dfateyev]

It's fine to me, just checked on the latest snapshot (201602031446p1).
Although got another issue, created #652.

[poolpOrg]

ok, the install being fine I'll close this ticket while we focus on the other one.
