??? In a fresh installed /etc/sysconfig/sendmail there is always a line ## Command: /usr/lib/sendmail.d/update which informs YaST what script uses. And if you edit those files by hand you may read this. Beside this: sendmail is not the default MTA and therefore there is no reason to add such a change into the release notes. That /etc/sysconfig/* contain a program line for yast is news to me, but it's appreciated. No I do not read this for sendmail, because no general info about those sysconfig files has ever been included in them, to my knowledge, and for the sendmail one, I know what variables are in the file so no incentive to do much reading in that place. To find the script in the end I probably straced yast. Whether sendmail is currently a default package or not is immaterial to me, and it was at some stage when I created my config. The way in which SuSEconfig has been axed is a ridiculous way of maintaining a distribution. At least the parts for postfix and sendmail are still in use, probably as they were, and after a decade+ of using openSUSE everyone knew SuSEconfig. So if you really need to axe it, have it output 1 sentence with the location of the new script. Takes 5 minutes, and still works for the next oS releases - not everyone installs every release. Simply leaving the users in the rain and causing stress and wasted time is not user-friendly. This is also a reason against recommending SLES to anyone. Sure change happens, this is not a useful way to handle it. I am saying this with a hope that matters may improve. *** Bug 869986 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Ohh ... this is fixed since Mon Sep 9 12:32:40 UTC 2013 |
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/534.34 (KHTML, like Gecko) konqueror/4.10.5 Safari/534.34 Yast re-creates the sendmail config only when changes are made in yast, but not when /etc/sysconfig/{,send}mail were edited. There used to be SuSEconfig for this - pity it's gone, it was very good. After a long time searching I found that /usr/lib/sendmail.d/update still does the job. Bug 1: This is not in $PATH (under some suitable name). For postfix, this was renamed to /usr/sbin/config.postfix . Why is there no config.sendmail? Bug 2: This is not mentioned in the suse documentation. All those still refer to SuSEconfig, if at all. Bug 3: This script is not mentioned in the release notes. There was a release note update specifically for mentioning config.postfix. Did no-one have the presence of mind to check the other MTAs? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
