It's been half year now when this was rised. Now what has happen?

Latest Stable Release [ v3.8.0-STABLE ] March 19, 2007
So nothing.

And how many patches ubuntu/debian/gentoo/rh/suse/[insert your distro here]
has already made for that stable latest release? I think if development was
really happening, there would have been new release out already.

I will again vote for fork!

Well if I remember right, Jonathan has said his opinion
already. It's
GNU licensed, so anyone is free to use dspam as base for
new project,
just follow the instructions of license.

gentoo community has made alot patches for dspam and what I
have read
gentoo forum, there is some people who does know dspam inside out,

lol. I think you are referring to me. On the Gentoo forum I am known as SteveB. I am the one who created the DSPAM Gentoo ebuild as it is known and used today. Just last week I submitted around 11 or 12 patches to the Gentoo Bugzilla.


so it would be
very good for project if some of them would join if there will be a new project based dspam.

Be sure that everyone using DSPAM and capable of coding or doing other thins for DSPAM and some spare time will work on and for a forked DSPAM. Gentoo as community based Linux distro will sure be on board. I don't mean just me. All of the Gentoo users and maintainers.


I don't know debian community well but I think they have done some tweaking too. Not to forget all 20 or something like that patches what is
posted on
devs list.
Gentoo has currently 27 patches for DSPAM 3.8.0.

My preference would be if the dspam community as a whole
could move
to a new project, but I'm not sure if anyone will come!

A new project would need to maintain the bulk of the
knowledgeable
people found here, a return of Jonathan in some way if he
is able,
and a structured way that we can all commit back those patches without turning dspam into a black hole of focused
smaller projects,
that in time will become unmaintained.

I see a need for a fork, but have no experience of a
project lead in
this way - the setup on sf.net is the easy bit, but will
anyone else
be interested if I did it?

There is everything ready what is needed. Just a new name and adopt latest dspam code..

Thats what has happen with amavis and many other
projects before.
Amavis actually have seen 2 different project, amavisd-new
and maia mailguard.

Subject: [dspam-users] Dspam Fork?

What happened to the ideas of a Dspam fork?  Did anyone
every get a
response from Sensory Networks? (if you monitor the list please
respond!)

Does anyone have any thoughts on how the project can
move forward
when there is such a diverse user base, many different patches for many different set-ups, and several web guis etc - I can't fit the size of all that into my brain.

I think at least two people offered trac/svn/webspace - did anyone come forward as admin? Any takers?

Paul
