Package: sa-exim Version: 4.2.1-16 Severity: serious Control: block -1 by 879687
Hello, with exim4/4.92-5 I have dropped support for sa-exim: The dlopen localscan patch in exim4 has been nonfunctional in unstable for quite some time (4.92~RC2-1/experimental/18 Dec, 4.92~RC3-1 unstable/26 Dec and buster/03 Jan). The issue only popped up end of March on the upstream user support ML. At this time I opened a tracking bug in exim #925982 and looked at sa-exim. It is dead upstream since 2006 and buggy: * https://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20180726.113354.6d03efde.en.html * #879687 (This might be same issue, I just do not know. Chunking is enabled by (upstream) default.) At this point we (exim4) decided that this was a good time to finally drop the dlopen localscan patch. We did that and adopted exim accordingly: - improve the example/docs for content-scanning in exim without sa-exim - drop the abovementioned patch and the virtual Provides for exim4-localscanapi-2.0 and also drop the exim-dev package (only needed for sa-exim). Exim now also Conflicts with sa-exim. However, what I did *not* do was consult you before I did this. I am sorry for that. It is still possible to reinstate exim-dev and try to fix exim to make sa-exim work again. But imho only if sa-exim is fixed in the first place and is tested and found to be working with current exim. What are your thoughts on this?
