There was a recent security issue with the sqwebmail portion of |
5 |
mail-mta/courier. Courier is actually a combination of packages |
6 |
(maildrop/sqwebmail/courier-imap) that function together as one. 2 of |
7 |
these (maildrop and courier-imap) are already in the tree. It's my |
8 |
opinion that sqwebmail should be avaliable as a seperate package for |
9 |
users. The stabilazation option for the particular sqwebmail bug |
10 |
(source: Bug #58020) was to stable mark a beta package with more |
11 |
features than I think is necessary for stable marking. Sqwebmail |
12 |
being a seperate package would have made this easier. The solutions |
13 |
to this would be: |
14 |
|
15 |
make sqwebmail seperate and: |
16 |
~ a) remove courier |
17 |
~ b) keep courier |
18 |
~ c) make courier a metapackage (sort of like the way kde does things) |
19 |
|
20 |
Option c would be the harder of the 3, as I believe maildrop would |
21 |
have to have its deps adjusted. |
22 |
|
23 |
Yes, I will test and maintain this should that issue come up. Please |
24 |
offer any suggestions you may have, and thanks ahead of time! |
