The idea its precisely that.. i praised the way as alpine does "as
upstream possible"
but something that let the upstream to "thinks" its on correct that as
Manvendra said
Courier are so so stable that some changes are not so important to
DRASTICALLY CHANGES
the generation of a package..

in fact for that there's package managers.. and the upstream are only
developer core of the software,

each people to their work .. when you SAM try to made your things as
you want just created and reinventing the wheel

in fact. many errors and problems were detected thanks to the package
manager on each distributions..

well mostly debian cos i am one of their users.. but now i wants to
support ALPINE and this behaviour fall in double work

ALSO RHEL, SLE12 are still supported and working in many servers.. but
package courier has broken compilations

check it our: the software itself has no important changes .. only
build changes.. to support those problematic constant changes in newer
fashioned distros..

inclusively i made this mail in plain text to support the policy of
the mail list.. (preferible plain text), but you cannot do same in the
other way?
