Hi,
I have now uploaded a new upstream release of uw-imap to experimental.
I believe it would be good for Debian if this package could reach Lenny,
as it includes the following important fixes:
* 2 upstream bugfix releases, possibly security-related
* binary code stripped from upstream source
*
Upstream released their changes as just "bugfixes to problems [...] that
affected a small number of users". When I consider them "possibly
security-related", it is because I am not clever enough to understand
the actual code myself, but do know that they have "an unusual coding
style" (see their FAQ section 3.21 for example:
/usr/share/doc/libc-clientXXX/FAQ.txt.gz).
uw-imap includes libc-client used only by a few packages, which will
need a binNMU. A notable use of libc-client is by the package php5-imap
used by most webmail packages and quite popular.
This new release of uw-imap requires approval by ftpmaster to get
through the NEW queue. As I have mentioned in changelog, this is no
longer stricly needed, but I consier it too risky to change that now.
Yes, I know this is very late in the game. I have been unable to
allocate enough time for preparing this release sooner.
Kind regards, and hope to see some of you soon in Argentina :-)
