Why does conda not use symlinks for duplicate dependencies? [on hold]

I wondered whether conda actually made duplicate files for certain dependencies shared by independent environments.



I installed two environments env1 and env2. Then I installed the same module cryptography in both of them. Next I searched for the module's name in my system with find and found it in miniconda3/envs/env1/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ as well as miniconda3/envs/env2/lib/python3.7/site-packages/.



Next I went through all directories from site-packages on and ls -al-ed for symlinks. I did not find any symlinks on the path to cryptography. Hence these must be actual copies of the same module and the same version of it.



Is this not very wasteful of disk space? Why does conda not use symlinks for cases like this? I would like to know the rationale behind this design as I suspect other environment managers handle things the same way?

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
