[Kolab-devel] [issue1088] Uncomment MYHOME in amavis.conf.template file

[Richard Bos]

New submission from Richard Bos <radoeka at xs4all.nl>:

In our porting effort we run into the problem that the amavis home     
directory should be configurable.  However, the variable MYHOME is      
commented out in the template file:     
#$MYHOME = '@amavisd_home@';   # (default is '@amavisd_home@')   
see:   
http://kolab.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs-kolab.cgi/server/kolabd/kolabd/templates/amavisd.conf.template.in?rev=1.5&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup    
   
For kolab on openpkg this works, but for kolab on something else, this   
is a problem.  My proposal is therefor to uncomment the variable.   
amavisd_home is set to /kolab/var/amavisd.  This is the default in   
...bin/amavisd   
   
The directory is set in amavisd itself:       
amavisd-new-2.3.3 > grep -n MYHOME amavisd       
    379 # serves only as a quick default for other configuration settings       
    380 $MYHOME   = '/kolab/var/amavisd';       
       
So, if we set the variable to /kolab/var/amavisd nothing to worry :))       
Let's see if that would happen indeed:       
kolabd/templates> grep "MYHOME = " amavisd.conf.template.in       
#$MYHOME = '@amavisd_home@';   # (default is '@amavisd_home@')       
       
kolabd/templates> grep amavisd_home ../dist_conf/kolab       
amavisd_home=${localstatedir}/amavisd      
      
Yes, that looks good.  
  
  
Is it okay to commit the following patch:     
  
kolabd/kolabd/templates/amavisd.conf.template.in,v
