Archdevs, Why are we splitting postfix by backend? Currently the package is only 1.5M total. Why would we want to fragment postfix backend capability into separate packages? With 1T+ average drive size the additional fragmentation doesn't make any space savings sense. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [arch-dev-public] [signoff] [extra] postfix 3.5.9-1 Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2021 21:27:43 +0100 From: David Runge via arch-dev-public <arch-dev-public@lists.archlinux.org> Reply-To: Public mailing list for Arch Linux development <arch-dev-public@lists.archlinux.org> To: Arch Linux Development (public) <arch-dev-public@lists.archlinux.org> CC: David Runge <dave@sleepmap.de> Hi! I have just upgraded postfix to 3.5.9. The package has been split to allow specific installations based on requirements while not pulling in all of the backends at once: postfix postfix-cdb postfix-ldap postfix-lmdb postfix-mysql postfix-pcre postfix-pgsql postfix-sqlite Please do test the integration of the split-out optional dependencies with postfix to see whether everything still works as expected.
