From: EuAndreh <eu <at> euandre.org> To: guix-patches <at> gnu.org Cc: EuAndreh <eu <at> euandre.org> Subject: [PATCH] gnu: Add postfix. Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2022 20:59:30 -0300
* gnu/packages/mail.scm (postfix): New variable.
---
Notes:
This package has a few too many assumptions about the system where its
running.
Other than the usual call to hard-coded /bin/sh paths:
- is too conservative on the PATH that the "master" process is launched
into;
- what is available to sbin(8) commands under their paths;
- where the setuid programs live;
- what should be the permissions of files under /etc/.
It also has a very opinionated way of being given $PREFIX paths, and how
the dynamic Makefiles are generated, how DESTDIR is handled, etc.
I had disabled the "postconf -e" ability to edit configuration options
in-place, as the postfix-service-type that I'm working on generates
those files and puts the in the store, which isn't writable.
All in all, this is a working package: this very email is sent from a
local installation of Postfix in my Guix laptop, which forward the email
to the server running Postfix under Guix, who than sends it off to the
internet! So if you're reading this, it is working :)

From: EuAndreh <eu <at> euandre.org> To: 59705 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Cc: cwebber <at> dustycloud.org, brantcgardner <at> brantware.com, rekado <at> elephly.net, janneke <at> gnu.org Subject: Re: [bug#59705] [PATCH] gnu: Add postfix. Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2022 23:32:11 +0000
Talking about this with rekado on IRC, it reminded me that I found out about the "wip-postfix" branch after I started working on this package. This patch supersedes it, and I took inspiration from it during the final tweaks. I'm Cc'ing some people involved in previous discussions about Postfix on Guix, and wip-postfix, and invite you to review it too: :) I'm doing the final polishing touches on postfix-service-type, alongsige with cyrus-sasl-service-type and dkimproxyout-service-type to have a fully compliant woking mail server.
