Hi Michael,
I am very surprised that I cannot find qmail for Bering-uClibc.
What am I missing?
Can somebody, please, make a Bering-uClibc qmail.lrp ???
Short version is:
read http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html and tell us how we can provide a
qmail.lrp that complies to the qmail license (and no, I have no plans to
contact D. J. Bernstein and ask for permission - other people have tried
and failed). It's a shame, since qmail is indeed the perfect MTA for an
embedded box (given that it's apparently very secure and also small
enough for an embedded box) - but if we expect people to honour the GPL,
we must also honour the license of the software we distribute. We're
already bending the rules by providing djbdns, mainly because there's
no real alternative, and having a real dns server on a router is a
pretty common request - but an MTA is a different beast (given the fact
that running an MTA that stores the mails in a RAM-disk isn't even RFC
compliant).
If you want to build it yourself, the Bering uClibc team will most
likely be happy to help you get going - but we can't distribute it in
binary form without breaking the license (at least, that's how I read
the page above).
Martin
