Nice offer, but please let these packages alone. Your changes wouldn't end up in lenny anyway, so we do have enough time to discuss a proper solution and implement it.

Some of the packages have real reasons to prefer an MTA other than exim4. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.

There where no consensus, since you where all just discussing overengineered solutions for solving the problem and all pointing out bugs in eachothers suggestions. Using exim4 | mail-transport-agent is the most straight-forward solution and will require minimal changes. When (or even if) the default mta changes, we can easily introduce the default-mta then (and maybe people would even have come up with a bug-free overengineered solution by then). I offer to fix up all packages to exim4 | mail-transport-agent *and* when there is a working default-mta proposal and a need for changing the actual default mta fix it up in every package. If people put as much effort into actually working on packages as they did on debating in useless threads that leads nowhere the distribution would be in a hell of alot better shape. Over and out. -- Regards, Andreas Henriksson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Package: sks Severity: normal Hello! Your packag depends on postfix | mail-transport-agent. Exim (v4) is generally considered the default mta in Debian and is also the package providing mail-transport-agent which has the highest priority. Is there any particular reason why your package needs to deviate from which mta is pulled in by default? If not, could you please consider streamlining your package with the rest so we have a uniform behaviour in debian? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (300, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
