Bug#489463: /etc/init.d/exim4: always runs update-exim4.conf

[Fabrício Matheus Gonçalves]

Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.63-17
Severity: wishlist


Hi,

The exim4 is taking i little longer to startup than I would expect just for 
local mail delivey configuration. After some analises it is because of 
update-exim4.conf been executed every startup, then I would like to suggest 
something like:

    if [ -n "`find /etc/exim4 -type f -newer /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated`" ]; then
      upex4conf
      isconfigvalid
    fi

And just for sake of optimization, update-exim4.conf already executes exim4 -bV
then if it would report the result, there will be no need to run 
exim4 -bV again in isconfigvalid.

Thank you,
 Fabricio.
