[Nix-dev] spamassassin module

2015-02-17 Thread Eike
Hello, I'm trying to add spamassassin to my email setup. So I added this to my configuration.nix: services.spamassassin = { enable = true; debug = true; }; I then tried with `systemctl start spamd' which failed, because of missing configs (I should admit now, that I'm very

The repository masters are silent about it. Niksut? Dr Pepper? Peti? I guess they don't experience the problem, so they are ready to wait to new kernels arrive. That's all guessing; I haven't seen any formal position. That's why I asked at the time staging was merged. An easier way would have

Might I ask, what is the point of stale code not being executed? And if code is being written to sit stale on a branch, isn't that wasted talent? Lastly (if there is no renaming attic/name) it just confuses people. Having code merged into a canonical branch asap makes for faster feedback cycles
