On Wednesday, February 28 at 05:17 PM, quoth Uncle George:
Is there some reason why you cant have a switch-o-matic style of running
the piece of the package?
I'm not sure I understand you. Is there a reason why I don't want to
run qmail-smtpd --with-smtp-auth? Is there a reason I don't want to
patch qmail with ./patcher --with-smtp-auth?
No, strictly speaking there is no reason why you CAN'T do just about
anything. But whether something is possible and whether something is a
good idea and whether something is preferred are all very different
things.
I *prefer* something that works exclusively with patches. If that's
./patcher --with-foo or an interactive script, I don't really care
which. I think the usability of the interactive script is nicer, but
it's not a make-or-break point. But I also very strongly don't want to
run the various parts of the qmail package with umpteen zillion switch
arguments.
