### Old Ubuntu Delta ###
exim4 (4.99-4ubuntu1) resolute; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #2126017). Remaining changes:
- Show Ubuntu distribution in SMTP banner
+ d/p/fix_smtp_banner.patch: Show Ubuntu distribution
in SMTP banner.
+ d/control: Build-Depends on lsb-release to detect Distribution.
- Disable external SPF support to avoid Build-Depends on libspf2-dev
(only available in universe). SPF can still be implemented via
spf-tools-perl, as documented in exim4.conf.template. This reverts
Vcs-Git commit 494f1fe, first released in 4.95~RC0-1.
(LP #1952738)
+ d/control: drop Build-Depends on libspf2-dev.
+ d/EDITME.exim4-heavy.diff: disable support for libspf2.
+ d/d/c/a/30_exim4-config_check_rcpt: restore SPF logic based
on spfquery.mail-spf-perl from spf-tools-perl, but without
the previously supported helo detection.
* Dropped changes:
- d/p/Fix-build-error-with-gcc-15.patch: fix eximon ftbfs with gcc-15
Closes: #1096601 (LP #2124274)
[ Applied upstream in version 4.99-RC3 ]
