ypops on Fedora7 and openSuSE 10.3 ( rpm )

[casualprogrammer]

There is an .rpm howto at http://fedoranews.org/blog/?p=564 with it's and the other posts in this forums help, I managed to create and install an .rpm for fedora7 ( from the downloadable archive for ypops-0.8.6.2 )

http://www.freewebs.com/casualprogrammer/downloads.htm

It installs ypops as a service, which gets started at boot time, can presumably be used with other distributions, I doubt that it will run as service everywhere. Manual starting should be possible, though.

service can be managed as root with

Code: Select all

service ypopsd start | stop | status | reload

manually starting is via the startscript

Code: Select all

/usr/sbin/ypopss

as root.

Install as root with

Code: Select all

rpm -ivh ypops-0.8.6.2-0.Fedora7.i386.rpm

The settings are in /etc/ypops/ypops.ini and are preset to 127.0.0.1, 5110(POP), 5025(SMTP) no bulk handling.

Feedback and suggestions welcome.

I added an rpm for openSuSE 10.3 today, in addition to running as a service, it is configurable through YaST sysconfig editor.

Rest as for Fedora 7 above.

Have a lot of fun...

Hi,

Can this .rpm install into suse 10.2 as well?

It probably will, just give it a try. If it doesn't, just uninstall and try the ypops compile script further down in the forum.
