[sles-beta] SLES11-SP3 RC1 : /usr/sbin/postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf: unused parameter: program_directory=/usr/lib/postfix

[urs.frey at post.ch]

Hi

I just downloaded SLES11-SP3 RC1 and I am testing updates from SLES11-SP2 to SLES11-SP3

Within the changelog Beta4 to RC1 I saw this entry:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Updated postfix (security/bugfix/feature)

- bnc#809202 - Use of old parameter "fallback_relay" instead
  of "smtp_fallback_relay" in postfix master.cf
- bnc#797211 - postconf warning: unused parameter program_directory
  Fixing this problem for update also
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

When doing upgrade I get these messages concerning postfix:


Installing: postfix-2.9.4-0.11.4 [....done]
Additional rpm output:

===============================================
What is your idea?
Do I really have to sed my default main.cf where I only put in my local relayhost=smtp.pnet.ch and myhostname=h04szd.pnet.ch to be able to do a correct upgrade to SLES11-SP3?
Will you provide a merge from the main.cf.rpmnew to main.cf again?
Or would it be possible to provide something in SuSEconfig?

I mean, at the end when doing upgrade to SLES11-SP3 on several hundred servers it is not possible to log in and merge configurations.
This must be working smoothly and fully automated.

Thanks for your feedback

Best regards
