-# COMPILING THE DEBIAN SENDMAIL PACKAGE ON POTATO
-#
-I am writing this document to summarize the assistance that Richard A
-Nelson (Rick) <cowboy@debian.org> gave me in getting the
-sendmail-8.12.1-1 package to compile under Potato.  Hopefully this
-will save him the effort of responding to other email from people as
-clueless as myself.
-
-Pre-requisites (supplied by potato):
-	 Linux 2.2.19 or 2.4.7+  for shm support.
-	 m4
-	 debhelper 1.1.17+
-	 groff
-	 bsdmainutils
-	 libopenldap-dev
-	 libwrap0-dev
-	 liblockfile-dev
-	 libpam0g-dev
-	 automake
-	 libtool
-	 libdb2-dev
-	 dpkg-dev
-
-Pre-requisites (that you must fulfill on your own):
-	 libsasl-dev
-
-Instructions on how to fulfill above dependency:
-1) download from your nearest Debian source mirror the cyrus-sasl
-   source.  At the point of the writing of this document that was version
-   1.5.24-9.  The source should be in "debian/pool/main/c/cyrus-sasl",
-   you will need the following files (possibly replacing the version):
-         cyrus-sasl_1.5.24-9.diff.gz
-	 cyrus-sasl_1.5.24-9.dsc
-	 cyrus-sasl_1.5.24.orig.tar.gz
-
-2) extract the source using dpkg-source -x cyrus-sasl_1.5.24-9.dsc
-   This should create a directory cyrus-sasl-1.5.24/
-3) compile+package sasl, this can be accomplished in different
-   ways.  For either of them you will need to cd into the source
-   directory you just extracted (cd cyrus-sasl-1.5.24).  Then you will
-   need to execute one of the following sets of commands:
-         debian/rules build      as a normal user
-	 debian/rules binary	 as root
-   or
-         debian/rules binary     as root
-   or
-         dpkg-buildpackage
-4) install the resulting packages with a command similar to:
-         cd ..;dpkg --install *1.5.24-9*deb
-
-At this time, all of the prerequisites should be fulfilled to build the
-sendmail-8.12.1-1 packages.
-
-Note: to get a functional sendmail binary, I had to uninstall
-libdb2-dev at this point.  See note on libdb at the end of this
-document.  If your sendmail binary segfaults on startup, try removing
-libdb2-dev and going through all the remaining steps again.
-
-
-Now on to the real reason why you are reading this, making a sendmail
-binary package:
-1) download the sendmail source from your nearest Debian source
-   mirror.  At the point of the writing of this document that was
-   version 8.12.1-1.  The source should be in "debian/pool/main/s/sendmail",
-   you will need the following files (possibly replacing the version):
-          sendmail_8.12.1-1.diff.gz
-	  sendmail_8.12.1-1.dsc
-	  sendmail_8.12.1.orig.tar.gz
-2) extract the source using dpkg-source -x sendmail_8.12.1-1.dsc
-   This should create a directory named sendmail-8.12.1/
-3) modify debian portion to remove perl-5.6.1 dependancy and to fix a
-   typo.  Some or all of this step will possibly disappear from future
-   versions.  First cd sendmail-8.12.1/debian
-   a) Fix typo in the debian rules file
-      Search for the string "dh_testversion 2"
-      if dh_testversion is immediately preceded by a / remove it.
-      i.e. if you see /dh_testversion change it to dh_testversion
-      *** Note: you no longer need to do this as of 8.12.1-2 !
-   b) Change directory into sendmail-8.12.1/debian/local.  Edit the
-      following files:
-           Parse_mc.pm.in
-	   parse_mc.in
-	   update_conf.in
-	   update_mk.in
-      commenting out the following lines:
-           use warnings;
-	   no warnings qw(once);
-      you may optionally also with to remove the -w for the first line
-      of those files.
-4) compile+package sendmail, this can be accomplished in different
-   ways.  For either of them you will need to cd into the source
-   directory you extracted (cd sendmail-8.12.1).  Then you will
-   need to execute one of the following sets of commands:
-         debian/rules build      as a normal user
-	 debian/rules binary	 as root
-   or
-         debian/rules binary     as root
-   or
-         dpkg-buildpackage
-5) install the resulting packages with a command similar to:
-         cd ..;dpkg --install *8.12.1-1*deb
-
-At this point you should have a working sendmail binary installed.  It
-is time to start testing.  If sendmail seg faults on start up (verify
-with sendmail -bD), you should read the following note on libdb,
-libdb2, and libdb3).
-

-Yours,

-A note on libdb, libdb2, and libdb3:
-      Sendmail and all of the various libraries it uses must all use
-      the same version of libdb.  The quick, dirty, easy way to verify
-      this is to use ldd to determine which libdb library is being
-      used in the finished binaries:
-	   ldd /usr/lib/sendmail
-	   ldd /usr/lib/libnss_db.so
-	   ldd /usr/sbin/saslpasswd   (if available)
-	   ldd /usr/sbin/slapd        (if available)
-      if everything has gone well, you should see that all of the
-      above files are using the same version of libdb.  
-
-      To get everything on the same version of libdb, I needed to
-      uninstall libdb2-dev previous to compiling the sendmail package.
