Compiling Postfix-2.7.0 As RPM Package

I used to have Simon J. Mudd when building postfix rpm package, but seems he’s not releasing official postfix 2.7.0 yet, here’s a way for impatient one

First make RedHat Linux the standard directory structure in our homedir

$ mkdir rpmbuild
$ mkdir -p rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS,tmp}

Create .rpmmacros file

$ vi .rpmmacros
%_topdir                %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild
%_tmppath               %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild/tmp

Create tempoerary working directory for postfix

$ mkdir postfix
$ cd postfix

Upgrade Centos 5.2 to Centos 5.4

It was easier upgrading from disc than unstable network :D

  • Download DVD ISO Centos 5.4 from centos.org
  • Upgrade from DVD

 # mount /dev/dvd /media/cdrom # yum upgrade --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c5-media 

Be patient and wait until it finished

 # reboot 

Now you’ve got a nice fresh centos 5.4

 # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.4 (Final) 

done
