I am. We are. But as you very well know, one of the first rules of Open Source is search the web first and only re-invent the wheel if someone else did not did it before. Meaning, for instance, that if we already have a Debian repository or Ubuntu ppa in which we can trust, we use it. We make suggestions to improve it. We submit code & patches to it. We submit bug reports. We do not rush to create our own backyard repository. > You can see Stefan's participation right here on this mailing list, > using Google searches of the list archive.

No disrespect intended neither towards Stefan, nor towards his friends. But, to us, it would be difficult to use a Postfix repository that includes changes whose rationale we are not able to understand like, for instance, the following: diff -u tmp/postfix-2.8.0/conf/master.cf lixo/postfix-2.8.0~cite/conf/master.cf --- tmp/postfix-2.8.0/conf/master.cf 2011-02-07 10:18:11.000000000 +0000 +++ lixo/postfix-2.8.0~cite/conf/master.cf 2010-12-31 14:14:51.000000000 +0000 @@ -8,49 +8,49 @@ # service type private unpriv chroot wakeup maxproc command + args # (yes) (yes) (yes) (never) (100) # ========================================================================== -smtp inet n - - - - smtpd -#smtp inet n - - - 1 postscreen -#smtpd pass - - - - - smtpd -#dnsblog unix - - - - 0 dnsblog -#tlsproxy unix - - - - 0 tlsproxy -#submission inet n - - - - smtpd +smtp inet n - n - - smtpd +#smtp inet n - n - 1 postscreen +#smtpd pass - - n - - smtpd +#dnsblog unix - - n - 0 dnsblog +#tlsproxy unix - - n - 0 tlsproxy +#submission inet n - n - - smtpd Regards, M.
