[Gllug] 9.2 Postfix 2.0.13, Patching.....

[Kristian Davies]

>>The change log for postfix is very complete - overly so at times. See 
>>ftp://mirror.interoute.net/pub/postfix/official/postfix-2.0.16.HISTORY.

>>The thing that often confuses is that the new entries are at the bottom 
>>rather than top of the document.

Same page i was looking at, and no.. the confusing thing is that use _dates_
(<- see im learning) in the changelog rather that patch versions.  The last
one is 0913 which instantly made me think of patch .13

So if i pick a patch at random .11, which one is that in the changelog
(without counting back)

Ahh ok, thanks....

^I did a google for posfix 2.0.16 rpms, and redhat does have some, they say
it was compiled against Mandrake... now, im not going to... but is it a bad
idea to use rpms from other distros... should i always download the source
from the postfix themselves...(or use mandrake rpms)

Cheers,
Kristian
