Hello Michael, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=609845
Yeah, I just noticed that imapsync is no longer free, which is a shame.
It is very funny to see such an opinion from a Debian guy. You seem to ignore what means free in "free software". Imapsync is still free software, the licence let you do what you want, distributing free, selling, changing, making it non-free, making it free as what any mean you put in free. You can even make it a GPL software, this is far away more free than any GPL software. Really free, no? So I have no shame about imapsync and won't ever have any.
I thus won't further debug this and switch to an alternative instead.
No problem, all the other free alternatives are listed in the imapsync README file. And since the issue comes from a perl module http://search.cpan.org/~plobbes/Mail-IMAPClient-3.25/ which is free open and gratis then your "thus won't further" is stupid. You're free to stay stupid and I do know that even imapsync were gratis you wouldn't have proposed any line of patch to correct the memory issue. Good luck with alternatives, some are really good, fast, with no memory issue. Stopping distributing imapsync gratis from the homepage is the best decision I could do to continue to maintain imapsync and help users. How do you earn your living with free software? I do earn my living by selling my free work and I prefer that than doing an alternative job on non-free software. If you have a better solution on how to live by writing and maintaining free softwares I will carefully read it and even try it, I promise. I do wait your proposals. PS: Phil I've just added your right address, the one from http://search.cpan.org/~plobbes/ has error back. -- Au revoir, 09 51 84 42 42 Gilles Lamiral.
