Bug#504080: ITP: courier-pythonfilter -- filter collection for the Courier MTA

Hi Paweł

I packaged courier-pythonfilter in the beginning of November and uploaded it
to mentors.debian.net:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/courier-pythonfilter/

Hello again,

Thank you very much for your reply and the link! I'll take a look at
that source package tomorrow.

It is in pretty good shape, is lintian clean, and I've tested the build
process in an up-to-date sid pbuilder environment as well. I have also added
tiny man pages for pythonfilter and pythonfilter-quarantine as well as
written postinst and prerm scripts for starting and stopping the filter,
plus a few other things. Furthermore, I'm using dpatch to remove "shebangs"
where they are not appropriate.

It sounds very interesting for me. I didn't touch the Python sources,
only packaged them and also created postinst and prerm scripts. I'll
compare your work with mine and write to you, if I have any ideas how to
improve your package.

I filed a "request for sponsor" on the mentors list but nobody has shown
interest as of yet:

http://groups.google.se/group/linux.debian.devel.mentors/browse_thread/threa
d/f53b85784e0cf30b

I'll give it a second try in a few weeks time.

Did you try to contact with Stefan Hornburg (Racke)? He is Debian
developer and maintaner of Courier packages for Debian. I wrote him
about my Pythonfilter package a few days ago, but I don't have any his
feedback yet.

If you're a DD yourself, please consider sponsoring it. ;)

No, I'm not DD. Debian was my favourite Linux distro couple years ago.
Now I rather prefer Ubuntu for desktop and server and recently I've been
testing OpenSolaris on my laptop :)

Good night,

Pawel
