Hi Andreas, I don't think that uploading an old libmail-imapclient just for imapsync is a good idea. It's upstream maintenance won't continue.
And if I see correctly this package isn't in an unworkable state because of the Debian maintainer ship, but because of an upstream incompatibility with the new version of an upstream lib. So if you have spare time, it will be better, if you help out the upstream author converting the program to the new libmail-imapclient version. However I'm open-minded about trying out your new upstream patches in the Debian repo to get feedback from sid/lenny users. Of course, I can't stop you in looking for a sponsor to upload libmail-imapclient-229, and if that happens, I will of course fix the issue by depending on it, but I do emphasize that I don't think this is the good way, so I won't be your sponsor. Thanks for your kind help and undestanding, Gergely On Sun, 27 Jan 2008 03:14:05 +0100, Andreas Wenning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Hi Risko > > Referring to this bug on imapsync: > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=458501 > > I would very much like to see the imapsync package working for lenny and > sid again; I've attached a patch for imapsync and a new needed package > libmail-imapclient-229 . > > I would ask you if you are interested in pushing the maintainership for > the package to me, as I have a general interest in this package anyway? > > For this first upload I would then need a sponsor for both imapsync and > libmail-imapclient-229; should it be possible that you would look into > sponsoring the two packages then? > > /Andreas > -- > Andreas Wenning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
