I'm never going to work on a security update for exim. All I'm willing to do is to keep the exim package in openSUSE on a current level. If there is a security issue I would address it with the new version.
Which is perfectly ok for a package where upstream already is careful to not break stuff. That doesn't work in general though.
With exim this is possible. It's not the default MTA of SUSE and therefore the risk to break 80% of installed and working systems is much lower.
The question is whether users of exim are aware that they rely on a "second-tier" package. OTOH there is no guarantee that packages that are in the default install are treated with more care either. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
