RE: Upgrade to SA-Exim 3.0 from 2.2

I tried to use this the last time a built the rpm. I was unable to build
using the 3.0 sa-exim, I fell back to using 2.2 sa-exim. I make a couple
of small changes to the spec file, as I recall the main error I kept
getting was something like could not find local_scan.o.  Is there
something with this patch that I am missing?  Or are there other changes
that I should make to the spec file.

Also, as to my level I would consider my self a novice Linux user.

Thanks

I have a spec file which includes an option for SA-Exim on
http://www.timj.co.uk/linux/exim.php - I haven't updated it to 4.20/SA3
yet but it shouldn't require a big change.

OK, without wanting to wander too much OT, I've been wondering about
this
for a while :) Is your distaste only for pre-built binary RPMs?
Otherwise,
I can't see the disadvantage  - if you build yourself an RPM from
source,
it's just the same as installing from source normally - except that you
get things nicely packaged and database-indexed...? 

The day when I learnt how to build RPMs from source and make my own
specs
solved a problem I'd personally felt a need to solve for a long time :)
Especially if you've got lots of patches etc. to programs (e.g. SA-Exim,
Exiscan, custom message patches etc.) - building with specs is verging
on
a self-documenting system, at least for the compilation/installation
stage...and you can be sure you know where all the files are headed!
