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 |
|
14 |
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! |
