Re: help with qmail package for ubuntu + debian?
Thank you for quick and clear responses. I will not invest time in this, after looking at these referenced URLs. After listening to Ubuntu UK podcast, I decided to offer also help with qmail package. I appretiate these honest answers. qmail + OpenBSD spamd is doing great job for me and for my customers on OpenBSD boxes. My intention was to utilise my long good experineces and help to provide more options for Debian / Ubuntu users. I did two things, which may help qmail supporters. 1. I requested qmail support from Red Hat 2. I CC Dr. Bernstein (I hope that this is not too incorrect step) Best regards, Jiri On Fri, Oct 16, 2009 at 05:26:02PM +0200, Michael Bienia wrote: > On 2009-10-16 10:37:10 -0400, Steven Harms wrote: > > Do not turn this into a debate about the merits of qmail, that is > > off-topic.

apt-proxy Version: 1.9.36.3 on Ubuntu 9.04 --- bad header lines error
Hi When running apt-get update with apt-proxy 1.9.36.3 running some of the repositories return a bad header error. I am able to ping and share files across the network. I cannot find any documentation as to how to resolve this or even a definition of error. The README file is unavailable on http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net. Can you offer any insight into the causes of this error and how to fix it, or alternatively provide me with a working link to the README ( the URL on the sourceforge.net is - /cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/apt-proxy/apt-proxy/README) Thanks for your time Regards Gareth Tuffney -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
New version of Gfax
Could who ever packages Gfax have a look at getting the new version packaged for Karmic. http://gfax.cowlug.org has 0.7.7 and it works well with Karmic and Jaunty.

And a qmail package might need some work to match Debian policy. So one needs to be familiar with qmail to know where to find all the needed patches and a little bit familiar with packaging to make a package which complies with the Debian policy. Jiri, you should contact the people who want to get qmail into Debian (and Ubuntu then) to avoid duplicate work and also to know about the current status of the ITP.

Do not turn this into a debate about the merits of qmail, that is off-topic. You can see the debian report on inclusion here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=510415 sharms On Fri, Oct 16, 2009 at 10:22 AM, Caroline Ford wrote: > Is it unmaintained upstream?

Re: help with qmail package for ubuntu + debian?
Is it unmaintained upstream? We don't want a mail client full of security holes and bugs. It's not just a "package and go" process. Caroline Sent from a mobile device.

help with qmail package for ubuntu + debian?
Hello, I'm considering to create qmail package for debian and ubuntu usage. I'm using 12 years qmail (compiling from source code) As the owner changed the licence, now the package can be created. Could you let me know, if my work can be taken? What I shall read to understand, how hard is to make package, which roles shall be followed? Thank you.
