What about building automaticaly in postinst?

Don't worry, I do it by hand :)

Ok. You can get my diffs from ftp.lander.es:/debian/local/source/
: Do you think we should produce two packages, ucspi-tcp & ucspi-tcp-rbl so
: people can have the vanilla version as well? I was going to do this for
: qmail, since you can put the rbl stuff in there for use under inetd.
The answer is easy (I think): tcpserver with RBL support adds two
new options:
-s (Default.) Attempt to set BOUNCEMAIL using the IP
address from the RBL documented at
http://maps.vix.com
-S Do not attempt to set BOUNCEMAIL
So I suggest to just include only the rbl-patched version. I first
thought that default should be -S, but tcpserver primary use is for
qmail-smtpd, and before you can run tcpserver you have to read its
small manpage... so I think the default option is ok.
Anybody disagrees?
: Cheers, Phil.
