Bug#296037: ITP: magic-smtpd -- Replacement for qmail-smtpd with user checking support
retitle 296037 ITP: magic-smtpd -- Replacement for qmail-smtpd with
user checking support
thanks
Earlier this year I built a quick-and-dirty magic-smtpd package for my
employer. The packaging itself is pretty easy, but I see two problems
ahead:
1) The license[0], while they call it "opensource", is long-winded,
not reviewed by the OSI, and not in use by any other Debian packages.
I will probably have to take this up with debian-legal.
2) While it is easy for the package to divert the original
/usr/sbin/qmail-smtpd binary out of the way, technically the "qmail"
package doesn't exist in Debian (since it's non-free, can't be
distributed modified, and is built by the qmail-src package). I'm not
sure how the incoming system would handle a binary package Requiring a
non-existant package.
Thanks,
Ryan Finnie
