Better consider the pkg-dspam team as a whole: pkg-dspam-m...@lists.alioth.debian.org I am however actively working on updating the Debian package for 3.9.0, hence I might be the one to contact for this point. > > Hence, for the users, it wouldn't bring anything (if they dowload the > > sources, they won't use the Debian - or whatever - packages).

Clear, and I would even add that is not your job.

Yes, I am a bit Debian-centric when talking about "official" packages. I am not sure how other distributions work, but I mean packages clearly supported byt the distribution. > Yes, this is a good idea, I'll add the text for debian if you sent it > to me both in git and the site. Thanks! Then we'll wait until 3.9.0 is released and Debian packages uploaded to the official archive, as I see no point in promoting the existing 3.6.8 packages currently available in Debian...
