Wrapper package for MailScanner

Hi,

One of the things I have not yet looked into in full detail is the
upgrade of MailScanner by yum.

Installing the package is something yum does but there are some extra
activities required from the admin to get a full profit from his/her
updated version.

At present the best I can think of is playing copycat with the
instructions Jules provided and send it of in a message to the local admin.

The rpm packaging guidelines are quite explicit where it comes to
interactive scripts (DON'T!) and Jules did the right thing in not
executing the upgrade script in the mailscanner package as part of the
post install scripts.

Technically the user should see them if the "yum upgrade" command is
executed but there is quite a bit of information and the user may not
remember all steps that well.

There might even be users that might run yum unattended and those would
never see the instructions. I strongly believe that one should never run
yum unattended but some people insist on doing the wrong thing.

Any alternative suggestions?

Jules: Feel free to include the script in the main rpm itself if you
feel like it. Just let me know if you plan to do so we don't duplicate
efforts.

Hugo.
