+# - fix the path to the python interpreter in the sasl-xoauth2-tool
+# - fix the path to the library when building on Alpine

+# After building and installing the sasl2 library with the sasl-xoauth2 plugin, the
+# postfix-sasl-xoauth2-update-ca-certs script is installed into the /etc/ca-certificates/update.d directory.
+# This script is run by the update-ca-certificates command to update the list of trusted certificates.
