Copy the whole, multiple issues report, as a message to pkg-exim4-users. Just to have it archived. 2. close the bug. ? I do not remember this. Might save it anyway and close (or ask on the users group if anyone has this issue now). Looking at this from the exim maintainers point of view, if you are making local modifications to spec.txt then you are pretty much fucked. We're very happy to take documentation fixes - including as changes to text/html if really necessary, but any bugs reported in that form take much more work to resolve in much the same way as you giving me a binary diff of spec.pdf or exim.o - the source looks somewhat different. So by playing games with spec.txt at the debian package level you are making life hard for the debian package maintainers, the upstream maintainers and probably yourselves... All the actors here are short on time, so making things hard tends to mean things just don't get fixed. Thanks to Andreas for putting the work into fixing and pushing those bug fixes upstream.

Bug#295713: Exim 3 is obsolete and should be removed from future releases
Package: exim Version: 3.36-13 Severity: grave Exim version 3.x has been obsolete for 3 years now. Support is not available for it other than within the debian community. The exim developers no longer provide any support at all for it *including* security updates other than the recommendation to upgrade to a current release. Future debian releases should either:- * Not provide an exim 3 package and obsolete it so that existing installations are upgraded to exim4. * Very clearly mark the package as deprecated so that users do not continuing using it without taking responsibility for their actions. If this is rejected then please remove any references to the Exim mailing lists from enclosed documentation because they cannot provide support for Exim 3. Additionally we are looking at a web site redesign. At that point all documentation for versions before 4.00 may be removed. -- [ Nigel Metheringham [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [ - Comments in this message are my own and not ITO opinion/policy - ] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Why is this considered a bug? Debian use their bug tracking system for wishlist items too. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a bug concerning the lack of peace in the world package. This is a way of thinking we are going to have to get used to - in the brave new world of Exim Bugzilla the wishlist will be assimilated. Have debian sorted out the license issues with world peace yet? I'm pretty sure the religious answers fall foul of the DFSG - specifically items #3 and #5. See http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines Not to mention that they have a hugely outdated version of the package.
