I'm interested in doing a package for spey, my greylisting SMTP proxy (http://spey.sf.net). This isn't going to happen immediately, but I'm due to make another upstream release soon, and if that goes well I want to start work on the package.
Unfortunately, the application has its own coroutine library that turns out to have a nasty conflict with linuxthreads (due to allocating its own stacks, which causes linuxthreads to crash). linuxthreads is used as part of glibc on 2.4 kernels. 2.6 kernels, such as the one I did the development on, are fine. Is it possible to specify this as part of the package dependencies, and if so how, or am I just going to have to document the fact that it'll crash on startup on a 2.4 system? Is this, in fact, not appropriate for inclusion in Debian because of this? (And if anyone wants to suggest a real fix, please get in touch. The *only* reason I'm asking about this is because I can't find any way of working around the problem.) -- +- David Given --McQ-+ "I never really understood how there could be | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | things that would drive you insane just because you | ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | knew them until I ran into Windows." --- Peter da +- www.cowlark.com --+ Silva
