Source: fetchmail Version: 6.4.16-1 Severity: wishlist We've implemented a POP3 autopkgtest for fetchmail, that you might want to consider including for Debian:
https://git.launchpad.net/~bryce/ubuntu/+source/fetchmail/commit/?id=d6e774e52d7b849a1043e54b46638023896e5d4b It runs a mock POP3 mail server, then verifies fetchmail can get an email from it. I noticed as well that the upstream fetchmail code includes a few test cases. I added a DEP8 for them too (via make check): https://git.launchpad.net/~bryce/ubuntu/+source/fetchmail/commit/?id=1deb68e705a23aa8c9bfa7d4942e1ff4191695e3 However, it might make more sense to run that as part of the build process. (Admittedly, the test cases look pretty trivial so maybe they're not worth bothing with. But maybe more will be added in the future.) We've added this to Ubuntu here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fetchmail/6.4.16-1ubuntu1 If interested, some further discussion about both of these changes happened on this MP review: https://code.launchpad.net/~bryce/ubuntu/+source/fetchmail/+git/fetchmail/+merge/398937 Thank you, Bryce
