Re: [dspam-users] Dspam Fork?

Thu, 22 May 2008 04:25:32 -0700 

Anyway - I don't understand the need for a fork.
Even if the projects developers can not put enough work into dspam there is no need for a fork. 


Talk to the developers and help them. Try to get involved with the 
development of the main project instead of dividing the work forces with 
a fork.


So said - have a nice weekend!

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?

for example? 

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
