[ Fabian sent this message to vorlon and to pkg-cyrus-sasl2-debian-devel early yesterday. I've not seen a response, so I am resending and adding debian-release. ] ----- Forwarded message from Fabian Fagerholm <fabbe@paniq.net> ----- Hi! The cyrus-sasl2 team has now reached a point where we would like to consider inclusion in etch. We've ironed out a lot of bugs, and the package has been tested in unstable for a while. We believe that the package is at least as good as the one currently in etch -- probably better, because of the long-standing bugs we've been able to close. Also, we've introduced a debug package that could be a great help in debugging some of the harder issues that have plagued this library in the past. (See the bug reports against this package about memory leaks and segfaults.) So there are many points that support inclusion in etch. We ask you to take a look at the cyrus-sasl2 package in unstable and decide if it's fit for etch. If not, we'd appreciate a list of the blocking issues. If it is fit for inclusion, please advise on what we need to do, if anything. Please be aware that Postfix has bug #398245, which must be fixed for Postfix to work with this new cyrus-sasl2 version. It is possible that other software linking against cyrus-sasl2 will require similar adjustments. We've provided a patch for that bug and will continue to help our reverse dependencies to upgrade. Thanks, -- Fabian Fagerholm <fabbe@paniq.net> ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://people.connexer.com/~roberto http://www.connexer.com
