fetchmail 6.3 changes relevant for packagers
--------------------------------------------
Greetings, dear packager!
The bullet points below mention a few useful hints for package(r)s:
- Please use OpenSSL and add --with-ssl to the ./configure command line.
SSL/TLS support hasn't been enabled in the default build in order to maintain
fetchmail 6.2 compatibility as far as possible. SSL/TLS however is a highly
recommended compilation option.
- Fetchmail now uses automake and supports all common automake targets and
overrides such as "make install-strip" or "DESTDIR=..." for staging areas.
- The fetchmailconf script has been renamed to fetchmailconf.py, automake will
install it into Python's top-level site-packages directory and byte-compile
it (so you need to package or remove fetchmailconf.pyc and fetchmailconf.pyo
as well).
- If you want to defeat Python byte-code compilation and would rather like to
install fetchmailconf.py yourself, you can add
PYTHON=:
to the ./configure command or pass this in the environment. This pretends
that no Python interpreter were installed.
- The Makefile generates a two-line "fetchmailconf" /bin/sh wrapper script that
executes the actual fetchmailconf.py with the python installation found at
configuration time, so that users can still type "fetchmailconf" rather than
"python fetchmailconf".
- Note that fetchmailconf.py supports a few command line arguments, so if you
use local wrapper scripts, be sure they pass on their own arguments properly.
Remember to use "$@" (with quotes) in shells, not $*.
- There is now a dummy fetchmailconf manual page which will just source (roff's
".so" command) the fetchmail manual page for now. You can of course keep your
symlinks in place and ignore this dummy. IF you install the dummy and
compress your man pages, be sure to test "man fetchmailconf", on some
systems, you'll need to adjust the ".so" command to point to the compressed
version.
