The Mail::Toaster build test
Before turning a new version of the Mail::Toaster loose on the world, it is run through a battery of tests. The first test is simply making sure it builds properly on a clean system. This document details how I perform that test. This is not a suggested build method. I use shortcuts (such as the perl and mysql packages) that may not work in your environment. It is here so that you may learn from it.
Create a new Jail
- toaster_setup.pl -s jailadd
- sh /etc/rc
- pkg_add -r http://www.tnpi.biz/internet/mail/toaster/src/perl-5.8.5.tbz
Install Mail::Toaster
- fetch http://www.tnpi.biz/internet/mail/toaster/src/Mail-Toaster-4.xx.tar.gz
- tar -xzf Mail-Toaster-4.xx.tar.gz
- cd Mail-Toaster-4.xx/
- rehash
- perl Makefile.PL
- make install
- make newconf
- make cgi
- cp contrib/toaster-watcher.conf-testing /usr/local/etc/toaster-watcher.conf
Edit toaster-watcher.conf
- vi /usr/local/etc/toaster-watcher.conf
Modify the hostname. The testing config is basically the same as the toaster-watcher.conf but with all nearly all options enabled to make sure they'll all build.
Build the programs
- rehash
- toaster_setup.pl -s pre
- toaster_setup.pl -s all
For the sake of brevity, much compiling and installing snipped. You'll have to answer a few questions, and wait a while. This part takes about 15 minutes on a dual 3GHz Xeon w/1GB RAM and a u320 SCSI disk.
Test
- toaster_setup.pl -s test
