Hi what is the current status of dspam packaging ?
Kind of stalled, due to excessive work pressure (you know, real life
keeps interfering)
Is there some work done ? or is this ITP orpharned ?
Yes, there is, but not much and it was done for version 2.10.
Apart from not having had much time to devote to this particular
package, i have lately waited till DSPAM 3 is completely stabilized:
v2.x being a compilation-based featureset program was due to be a
complete nightmare. DSPAM 3 seems to be much easier.
Keep in mind that not only one, but all four SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL
and BDB4 *have to be supported*... and this is a lot of work ( i know
from experience, packaging Bacula ).
If you ask because you intend to "adopt" the ITP, i suggest we
cooperated (some help could possibly be very useful).
I don't know how much packaging experience you have, but this does not
seem to be suitable for a "first package" effort...
I am lately considering posting a RFH to help with the
packaging/maintenance, since Jonathan Zdiarski (upstream) is a real
"release machine".
best regards,
Same from here.
