commit d4e1171ae6a79d36e7121bb0698eef3bd3f2498b
Author: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru>
Date:   Sun Aug 10 18:52:03 2025 +0300

    configure-instance.in: use home-grown file copy procedure to sync chroot
    
    we used cp(1) or (erlier) cpio(1) to copy selected files from the root
    filesystem to postfix queue directory (where postfix daemons chroots to).
    But this turned out to be problematic due to several reasons.
    
    First of all, previous version used `cp -u', which means the file is
    refreshed if the original file is more recent than the copy in the
    chroot.  But if the original file was restored with earlier date, we
    should refresh the copy too, - but `cp -u` does not do this.  This is
    why the issue described in #1110704 exists.
    
    Next, `cp` does truncate+write, not write+rename, - so while copying,
    partially written files might be referenced, which might lead to surprizes.
    
    And finally, `cp -p` tries to copy not only permission bits, but also
    ACLs, which doesn't work well on some filesystems.  See #1100100 for
    more information.
    
    Unfortunately, there's no common tool on unix system which can be used
    here, besides maybe rsync, - but I don't want to depend on rsync just
    to refresh a handful of files in the chroot.
    
    So - write a small program in perl which copies the files.  As a bonus,
    this simplifies handling of certs a little bit.
    
    Closes: #1100100, #1110704

    configure-instance.in: limit maxdepth=1 in /etc/ssl/certs dirs
    
    we only need first-level files, not anything in possible subdirs
    (there should be no subdirs in there, but better be safe)
