User Feedback :: dsl, hylafax, and installing apps from sources

1) Sendmail follows the general - configure, make, make install - but it needs some configuration before it can run.. It depends on procmail
...snip...

When I talked about Sendmail configuration I meant it does not do it automatically, you need to add a "sendmail" user among other things yourself..
DSL was made small partly by using busybox, removing things not needed, and choosing smaller programs for a need (for example, monkey web server instead of Apache 'cause it's smaller)

So if I apt-get sendmail and config/make/make-install, do I also need to get procmail? (procmail is not part of DSL?)

Thanks again.

no, apt-get will get all dependencies incl procmail.. But I'm not sure if it can configure sendmail, it would if DSL were normal Debian, but as DSL isn't, it might not be able to do the config..

2.0.0.5 is newest

Actually, 2.0.0.6 is latest now; I was surprised because my Windows version updated 2.0.0.5 and 2.0.0.6 within 16 hours of each other.

wow, they have lot's of bugs do they?

You don't do both. You'll get a binary from apt-get, and apt-get handles the dependencies (which MIGHT be a problem as curaga said because DSL isn't straight-laced Debian). You'll make a binary from source with ./configure, etc., so you'll have to do all your dependencies on your own.
