[opensuse-factory] Looking for: exim maintainer
Hi, We are currently shipping the "exim" mail transfer agent in openSUSE. As it had a security issue we found that Peter does not currently have the time to do backports for security fixes. While the current issue has been handled by Dirk Mueller, is there someone who wants to take over exim maintainership going onward and wants to provide backports?

Hi, I think here the time gap between asking for a maintainer and actually dropping the package has been as short as one could ever believe it gets: The package was dropped this morning from Factory: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-commit/2010-07/msg00246.html Not that I'm affected in any way by this decision, I can clearly live with it. My servers run postfix and I'm happy with it. And I don't think that we're yet under any time-pressure for Factory towards the next release.

As I'm using exim on all of my systems I'm happy to keep exim at a current version level. Unfortunately I don't have the time to backport patches for released products. With one or better two additional exim experienced users it should be able to handle the workload. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

I think we can reach an agreement to keep it on then? Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Thats because a drop request was filed before I even asked here. Of course we can readd it easily again. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
