Puppet Class: mailman::etclinks

Defined in:
manifests/etclinks.pp

Overview

A standard Mailman installation has only two parts.

  • Static bits (represented by PREFIX variable)

  • Dynamic bits (represented by VAR_PREFIX)

These are typically in /usr/ and /var/ respectively.

However, the Red Hat package maintainer wanted Mailman to fit the FHS more closely, so the Red Hat packages have changed the locations of some files since Mailman version 2.1.5.

In order to offer the best cross-platform support and ease of use, this module ignores the use of /etc/ on Red Hat and puts the files back into standard directories. But as a compromise, we can create some symlinks.

Examples

include mailman::etclinks
