Hey Paul, I got the request from a user of the SquirrelMail Debian package to include the compatibility plugin in the standard distribution. I'm not sure that's a good idea; see my rationale below; basically I thought that the strength of the compatibility plugin is that it *isn't* included in SquirrelMail.
Can you tell me what your opinion about this is? thanks, Thijs -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Thijs Kinkhorst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Anand Kumria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Bug#356983: squirrelmail: please include the compatibility plugin Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2006 09:04:30 +0100 severity 356983 wishlist thanks Hello Anand, On Tue, 2006-03-14 at 21:25 +1100, Anand Kumria wrote: > Please include the compatibility plugin > <http://www.squirrelmail.org/plugin_download.php?id=152&rev=1225> > > it makes some modifications to > /usr/share/squirrelmail/functions/strings.php to include its library and > it would be helpful it was already available. Thanks for your message. I agree that the plugin is quite universally needed. Just for the record: the compatibility plugin has no functionality of itself but provdies a standard API for plugin authors who need certain functionalities that may not be available in older versions of SquirrelMail. I'm just not sure yet wether including it actually helps. One of the strengths of the plugin is that it 'backports' functionality for plugins so that you can write one plugin that works on multiple SquirrelMail branches. I've thought about including the plugin into squirrelmail-proper (upstream), but then arrived at the conclusion that this would defeat the purpose. I'll talk this over with Paul and let you know what he thinks. bye, Thijs
