postfix with vda quota patch applied?
Hi all
Is the postfix in the Arch repositories already patched with the VDA quota patch?
If not, can someone walk me through or point to to some doco on how to do this? I've done done patching before.
Thanks

Re: postfix with vda quota patch applied?
Here is how you can tell how an Arch package is built:
1) Go to the home page and search for the package. Click on the link to get the package details (http://www.archlinux.org/packages/1680/)
2) Click the "View SVN Entries" link
3) Click the PKGBUILD link and then the view link. You will then see the PKGBUILD script. From it you can see one patch is applied.
4) Look at the patch. It does not do what you want it to do... so the conclusion is it does not have this patch.
Alternatively you could have used the ABS system (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS) to download all the PKGBUILDs and related files to /var/abs and then looked at them there. This would be a good idea for you as you want to change the PKGBUILD to include the patch you are interested in. Read up on makepkg (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg).
A quick google search will tell you how to use a patch. Adjusting a PKGBUILD to use it to is a simple as adding the line at the appropriate point in the PKGBUILD.
