From 42d30d3ccf11c62bc4a9d6df4624465ce51789e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bill Nottingham Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:49:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add a sendmail entry to the Core group. At the moment, packages in the Core group (cronie, for example) require a MTA. Without specifying a group, one is pulled in via yum depsolving rules, usually 'shortest-name-wins'. That's a bad way to set a default, and causes other side effects, like minimal installs requiring multiple CDs. I'm not convinced that sendmail is *better* than other alternatives; however, it is consistent with the current defaults in Base and Mail Server. The 'regression' case would be someone doing inidividual package selection deselecting sendmail, and selecting some other MTA. They'd get both installed. Kickstart can be used to overcome this. If we get to the point that things in the Core group no longer require a MTA, we can remove this. Until then, we should not be pulling in a random one. --- comps-f12.xml.in | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/comps-f12.xml.in b/comps-f12.xml.in index 87942079..d1f743c2 100644 --- a/comps-f12.xml.in +++ b/comps-f12.xml.in @@ -778,6 +778,7 @@ efibootmgr grub ppc64-utils + sendmail s390utils yaboot
