Hello,

these instructions were sufficient, thanks a lot.

I have now prepared a working patch that recognizes (additionally) NetBSD 3 
and NetBSD 4 (note: netbsd 4 is not yet available, but in development, it's 
like detecting FreeBSD 7 which is also not available yet).

Anyway, here we go:

Attached are two patches, one for Kolab 2.0.1 and the other for the December 
snapshot of Kolab 2.1 the instructions apply for both patches alike.

The postfix-2.2.3-2.4.1_kolab.src.rpm includes an existing patch called 
"postfix.patch". The attached patch REPLACES this patch. To build a patched 
postifx source rpm:

$ /kolab/bin/openpkg rpm --install postfix-2.2.3-2.4.1_kolab.src.rpm
$ cd /kolab/RPM/SRC/postfix
$ cp /full/path/to/postfix.patch__kolab2.0.1 ./postfix.patch
$ /kolab/bin/openpkg rpmbuild -bs postfix.spec

The resulting source rpm with the new patch is written to:
/kolab/RPM/PKG/postfix-2.2.3-2.4.1_kolab.src.rpm

You can grab it from there and reinstall it into an existing kolab2 
installation with:
$ /kolab/bin/openpkg rpm --install postfix-2.2.3-2.4.1_kolab.src.rpm


Both patches are tested to work, at least they "install" on a NetBSD 3.0 
installation. From the changes I made though there is hardly any chance to 
"break" functionality.


Please include this patch into any further release (2.0.2 and/or 2.1.0). 
Please confirm.


Thank you very much,
Raphael


PS: I still have issues installing the cyrus imapd package of Kolab 2.0.1 with 
the options set by obmtool.conf, it does install without any options though, 
but that's not ... "supported" by the kolab project (and doesn't work on 
first glance). That's a note so you do not expect Kolab 2.0.1 to build 
perfectly fine on NetBSD 3 _just_ with this patch. For a BSD based production 
system I still heavily recommend FreeBSD 5.4 (or 6, but 6.0 I haven't tested)


PPS: I did find out about OpenBSD 3.8: the OpenPKG base system does not 
correctly bootstrap, and yes I DID send the logfile to the OpenPKG people, so 
I hope they fix it... soon enough.
