(install libvpopmail-dev before compiling qmailadmin and vqadmin of course). I'm not an official debian package maintainer, so these may be less useful than others would produce, but they're working for me. I'd love to see these current and in woody! -- Ted Deppner http://www.psyber.com/~ted/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

vpopmail packaging
I have been trying to package up vpopmail into a .deb and have made a lot of progress using the original vpopmail package available from SID(version 4.9.9) I have been having a lot of troubles with it though, the Makefile is made such that it only installs the vpopmail files inside of the vopmail users ~/ dir. I have posted a message to the vpopmail list and got no replies from anybody about it. The trouble is I don't want to write my own makefile (part of debian/rules) in the source package because every time something changes in the up-stream source, the rules file must change. I don't know much about the automake,autoconf,etc... so coming up with a useful patch for the upstream version of makefile.am and configure.[am/in] files is proving to be a lot of hair pulling for me. If anybody has made more progress on this, I can find something else to occupy my already busy time...

So insteaed of recreating the wheel, why not start from there instead? I know that perhaps the latest vpopmail stuff is incompatible with the previous, but at least it may help to have a base to start from. On another note... do you plan on making it easy for those of us using the previous "older" vpopmails? We use the vpopmail packages, and it would be terrible if we had to manually upgrade each box. Perhaps some sort of "upgrade" script or program, or SOME way to upgrade as painlessly as possible? I am sure those of us using the existing vpopmail implementation would be greatful (at least I would!). Thanks. Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
