Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2002-08-14
Severity: normal
I am quite fed up of fetchmail, and thus not giving it the attention it
requires. I am willing to orphan it, along with fetchmail-ssl... if someone
steps up to take care of it (after all, I do use it :P ).
Upstream is usually cooperative and easy to work with (Eric Raymond/ESR). He
does accept patches that break the hell out of fetchmail from time to time,
though.
The code is not too buggy, but it is nearly-unmaintaneable C (fetchmail) and
very maintaneable but quite large python (fetchmailconf). IMHO (and in
upstream's) fetchmail actually needs to be rewritten from scratch in
something else than C.
Do not apply for adopting this package unless you have a lot of patience and
time to deal with the users and unexpected breakages. C knowledge is
required. You will have to deal with signal handling hell too, so be warned.
Whomever takes fetchmail, will also take fetchmail-ssl. This is
non-negotiable: both packages come from the same source package (and should
probably be merged into a single one now that sarge is open, and
fetchmail-ssl is in main)...
