Package: fetchmail Version: 6.3.16-1 Severity: minor Tags: patch User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu maverick ubuntu-patch
Hi guys, The attached patch from Ubuntu updates fetchmail to suggest default-mta as the preferred MTA, instead of exim4. 'default-mta' is the virtual package provided by exim4-daemon-light in Debian and postfix in Ubuntu, and may be pointed to other implementations in future releases or on other derivatives. This virtual package is not currently documented in policy, but has been discussed on debian-devel over the past year and there is a pretty clear consensus that this should be done. This is obviously a low-priority issue for fetchmail since fetchmail only declares a Suggests, which will never be installed by default, but it would be nice if fetchmail set a good example here. It would also be appreciated if you could apply the patch from bug #498427 if and when you apply this one, as that would eliminate Ubuntu's delta on the fetchmail package entirely and let the two distros be in sync again. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
