Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hi,
I recently helped to update Debian packaging for src:courier, src:courier-authdaemon and src:courier-unicode, and I rewrote most of the existing packaging. These packages desperately need a maintainer who is at least running the Courier IMAP suite himself, as I can only solve generic packaging bugs, but nothing that requires deeper knowledge of the Courier IMAP server. There are some upstream quirks (like having configure.ac in every damn subdirectory on the planet, so running autoreconf takes aaaaagggeeees, and it's own view how the filesystem ownership and permissions should look like), but that's has been already handled and the packages are not particulary hard to be packaged as of this moment. There are some issues related to the init scripts (shell scripts running shell scripts including shell scripts) and writing more stuff into NEWS.Debian, but those are small things, but they require a person with live Courier IMAP installation, so he is acustomed how things are usually done. Cheers, Ondrej
