New features in 4.70 (and hence in 4.71) can be seen in

./build set custombuild 1.2
./build update_script
./build update
./build set exim yes

echo "exim:4.71:25553818dca33df06f068cafb1e0e8e8" >> versions.txt

(change version.txt afterward, by deleting 4.6* or 4.7* line)

wget ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/exim-4.71.tar.gz

./build exim

keefe007 · Nov 24, 2009

DA can you please update the exim .deb file for 4.71?

I had some problems on Debian Lenny with some dependencies when building exim-4.71 using custombuild (it's exim not custombuild). here's how I fixed the issue.

Code:

fixed by

Code:

aptitude install libperl-dev libsasl2-dev libdb4.5-dev

Hope this helps some of the others with issues

interfasys · Dec 17, 2009

Last I heard was that DA needed to create new packages as the changes in the latest version of Exim are pretty big

jw00dy · Dec 19, 2009

This is what I am waiting to hear as well. Enough changed that I don't want to risk breaking something just to move to the latest since a lot did change.

Besides I'm fine with letting others bug-fix this release since it's already at 4.71.

Had the same issue. Give a try to:

yum install pam-devel gdbm rpm-build db4 db4-devel compat-db

should fix it.

Does anyone have an idea of how to resolve this? Right now i have exim 4.69 installed

Hey,

Here's what worked for me on CentOS 5.4:

yum install db4-devel

and

yum install cyrus-sasl-devel

Then did:

./build exim

Using custombuild 1.2.

Did you have to do anything to the exim.conf?, or just upgraded exim, there are new features and i just want to be sure that after upgrade everything is working ok

skruf · Feb 9, 2010

Hey,

Didn't change anything in the exim.conf... I'm on the 3.1-beta conf file and not the newer one...
