Hi folks, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm not sure how to handle the following situation: I want to use |
| 4 |
Postfix compiled from the official sources instead of any of the |
| 5 |
mail-mta/* packages. I removed mail-mta/ssmtp, which seems to be the |
| 6 |
default for my selected profile, but "emerge --update --deep world" |
| 7 |
reinstalls the ssmtp package, which renders my own Postfix unusable. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
On SuSE Linux, I have created a dummy SMTP service RPM to keep the |
| 10 |
YaST dependency checks for the "smtp_daemon" service satisfied. How |
| 11 |
can I satisfy Portage's dependency checks to keep it from installing |
| 12 |
any mail-mta/* package? |
| 13 |
|

I have not yet found relevant information in the forums or mailing |
| 15 |
list archives, but as I am new to Gentoo, I might not have worded my |
| 16 |
questions correctly, lacking the Gentoo specific terminology. Any |
| 17 |
pointers are welcome! |
