[BlueOnyx:07444] Re: Latest YUM update

Hi Darrell,

Summary of updates:
===============

base-vsite & base-user & base-apache: 
------------------------------------------------

These have been extended with the ability to prefix usernames with a 5 
character alphanumerical prefix. If a prefix is set (and only if), then all 
(new) users of the site will be named <prefix>_<username>. If a server admin 
sets a prefix, a siteAdmin cannot remove it. So it forces the siteAdmin's to a 
naming scheme of their users which can make the life of a server admin a bit 
more convinient.


base-maillist:
----------------

Contains the improvements that Christoph made, plus the fixes that I applied 
to make it work in an either/or fashion with the new Mailman support.


base-mailman:
-----------------

I made a final fix to it and released it from testing to public. When a new 
site prefix is set, then the new site prefix gets used as prefix for the 
mailing list as well. This replaces the old (mandatory) random numerical 
prefix. If no site prefix is set, the old random numerical prefix is used in 
the list name.

How to remove Majordomo and how to switch an existing box to Mailman is 
outlined here:

Future BlueOnyx ISO's will contain base-mailman by default.


base-email:
--------------

Contains some fixes to make it work with both base-mailman and base-maillist.


base-blueonyx:
------------------

Contains some fixes to make it work with both base-mailman and base-maillist. 
Contains Christoph's alias removal to free up some more aliases. Removed some 
troublesome lines from the post install scripts, which sometimes caused small 
glitches.


base-documentation:
-------------------------

Updated some URLs and text strings, as some info there was now outdated.


proftpd:
----------

This is a slightly updated version with a much better post-install script.
