When can we upgrade to Sarge? It seems to be frozen right now, and I sure 
could use the newer software.

I sure hope the next release of Debian does not take three or four years.

After the upgrade here are some things I'd like to do:

1. Install enough software to be able to use dh-perl-make:

http://perl.org.il/pipermail/perl/2003-December/003663.html

I'll need make and stuff. I'd rather not contaminate the perl directories with 
modules I install using perl -MCPAN. And not all Perl modules are available 
in the Debian pool.

2. I'd like to convert the mailing lists from ezmlm to something like Siesta:

http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/02/05/siesta.html

ezmlm works only on qmail, and moving a mailing list to a different prefix or 
domain is practically an impossible task.

3. After, the conversion to Siesta or whatever is done, I'd like to ditch 
qmail for postfix. qmail is not too bad, but its license is very problematic, 
and not being free software, makes us look really bad. postfix is also nice.

For other anti-qmail discussion see:
