Upgrade notes¶
The upgrade notes only describe necessary changes that you might need to make to your setup in order to use a new role release. Refer to the Changelog for more details about what has changed.
From debops.postfix v0.1.3 to debops.postfix v0.2.0¶
- All of the default and inventory variable names have been changed from
postfix_*topostfix__*. Furthermore, most of the old variables have been dropped and role uses new configuration format. There's no automated upgrade path planned from the old deployment to a new one. - You should copy the existing
/etc/postfix/main.cfand/etc/postfix/master.cfconfiguration files to a separate directory before executing the new role on an existing infrastructure. The files are overwritten automatically and information about current configuration might be lost. - It should be relatively easy to define your desired Postfix configuration
using inventory variables. The new
debops.postfixrole intentionally does not provide facilities to manage files; this is supposed to be done either in the other Ansible roles that usedebops.postfixas a dependency, or alternatively can be done by the debops.resources Ansible role. - Most of the functionality of the old role has been removed. It will be
brought back using separate roles in the future, however they are not yet
written. If you are using the old role in production, change the DebOps
requirements.ymlconfiguration to pin the old role version (v0.1.3). Other roles that depend ondebops.postfixwill re updated as well, you might want to consider pinning them too.
