[arch-general] Fwd: [signoff] [extra] postfix 3.5.9-1 (WHY?)

[David C. Rankin]

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.

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.

Best,
David
