I alone cannot test everything, but I was waiting to get more feedbacks from the various users of "my" unofficial packages before uploading it to the official archive.
IMHO, that's the wrong way. We all thought that there was no work done on it, and we can't guess where's your unofficial repository. At least, that's the first time I hear about it, even though I looked into using DSPAM in Debian. Just upload to experimental, it's done for such things...
I'm also one of the guys that wanted to have my own package to depend on DSPAM, as a replacement of spamassassin that uses too much RAM. But I gave up because of the state of the package ... :(
The experimental archive is actually for this kind of package - and as I am now certain the package is not totally broken, I'll upload it there to get even more feedback.
Cool!
I'd say the package is ready, though not widely tested and might still contain a few issues.
IMHO, it doesn't matter much if you just upload to experimental. I don't think anyone expect production-ready stuff in experimental, and if they do, I believe it's a mistake. Just don't upload to SID yet...
What most users expect is to get a fully working DSPAM setup very quickly. I know it is not possible to make it automatically, but I'd like to give them a good experience of both DSPAM and Debian. For example, the package now ships a sample of Apache configuration - I need to check it works on a clean install etc.
Well, it's *better* if it can be fully automated, but it's even worth if we have no package at all ...
Anyway, thanks a lot for working on DSPAM, it for sure must be of a great help for others.
