Ssince uw-imap and alpine are separately released source bundles from washington.edu, it seems like it'd be easiest to have them remain separate source packages.

uw-imap also appears as the imap subdirectory of the alpine distribution, so they can't really be considered as different sources (there is an inclusion).

Now it can still make sense to keep them separate: it is nice to have a version of alpine that is as up to date as possible, whereas the imap server (and others) may require more reliability (and thus stability).

That's right.

Your choice.

I'm happy with you maintaining the UW IMAP server separately. The important question is, probably, whose mailutil should we ship? Alpine is more likely to get fruity drivers like Maildir, which Mark Crispin doesn't think are high enough quality to get into the real UW IMAP distribution; that seems to me to be a reason to ship the alpine version.

But I'm not set on that. After all, stability in a "mailutil" might be appreciated too. (-:

What do you think?
