Hi,
Hi.
Just received teh fetchmail related security announcement and IIRC on thebugtraq list it was mentioned fetchmail 5.8.17 and above is not vulnerable. Is it SuSE's numbering scheme diffirent or the patch has been applied to the preivious versions.
Second why the package numbers are different for 7.1 and 7.2 platforms
That's because we patch the original packets instead of making a version upgrade to avoid problems on older SuSE Linux versions. But in special cases we also did a version upgrade + testing, i.e. when the changes are too big. Have a nice weekend.
