Hi,

I was wondering if anyone is looking at packaging the 2.3 series of Cyrus for Debian?

It has been considered "stable" for the past few revisions (since 2.3.7 I think, which
I would agree with - the patches I've been pushing since then have been less "critical")

I also have this very nice set of skiplist robustifying patches I'm pushing to everyone
who will listen to me right now :)  We've been having occasional skiplist issues for all
the time I've been with FastMail, and it's only this weekend that I've finally sat down
and come to terms with the code enough to fix them!

Every so often I do talk about becoming a Debian developer, but never seem to quite make
the time... I maintain a pile of packages (backports and locally patched things) for our
own infrastructure, but they're in various states of "just make it work for us" that
doesn't necessarily match the FHS.  I'd certainly be happy to help out with packaging
and testing for the packages we use.  (Cyrus we'll never be using vanilla upstream I
don't think.  Even now my patches series is 20 items long, and I got lots of stuff
into 2.3.10!)

Regards,

Bron.  ( http://cyrus.brong.fastmail.fm/ )
