Hello!I am aware that another hotway package exists in Debian. However, i have been unable to reach the maintainer for the past 3 months and it no longer works with Hotmail ( due to MS 'upgrades' to the service ).
Once I figure out why I am having difficulties making multi-binary packages, I will split hotway-cvs into 2 packages: hotway-cvs-pop3 and hotway-cvs-smtp. hotway-cvs will become a metapackage depending on hotway-cvs-pop3, but only recommending hotway-cvs-smtp. This will give it the same base functionality as hotway used to, with optional smtp sending support.
As it stands, my package is a drop-in replacement for hotway and any existing packages depending on it will work with mine.
