Correct, I'm sure as hell not about to do that :) But I was thinking along the lines of saying "look, here's an unofficial .deb of fetchmail since it appears to be a tad outdated, and I've had considerable problems with the existing one which appear to be resolved in a later version." Note that, at this stage, I haven't tried contacting the current maintainer, nor have I done anything in regards to debbing unofficially any package. I am a programmer by profession though (admittedly on the "other" OS since that equals $$ and that pays my rent, but with experience in c/c++) so its not just an idle thought. What I was looking at was if I did follow through with my idea, if it was gonna create ill-will anywhere I'd let the thought slide. Corey Popelier.
