announce: qbiff-utmpx patch
The qbiff-utmpx patch (based on Ed Schouten's for FreeBSD ports) tries
to detect <utmpx.h> for use by qbiff(1). If your qmail build is failing
because your system no longer provides <utmp.h>, this patch may be
useful to you.

Hi Amitai,

qbiff is certainly the least thing to be portworthy to the 'new world':

... although it is done.

Regards.

Heh, yeah. Testing it brought me nearly all the way back to childhood. :-)

Glad to see it in s/qmail. My intent with this patch is rather less forward-looking: it's the minimal build fix for the cross-platform qmail package I maintain in pkgsrc. Version 1.03nb32 includes the qbiff-utmpx patch, as you can see from the installed package on my production mail server:
