Thanks for the support both of you.
And I was actually not thinking of a qmail-patch-sort-of-CPAN, more of an
organized form of contributing even though it is perhaps like CPAN I really
want...
People will still make their own sites. And www.qmail.org will still be the
HUB for everything around qmail. But getting the pain of rechecking wether
Michael is there or not and keeping sleazy mirrors of peoples sites without
their consent is perhaps not the most useful solution.
What I want is probably what most of us have now, a hierarchy of patches,
links and packages for archival and reference purposes. All these things
(including the hierarchy) is collected by hand. And updated by hand.
Secondly: It would of course be nice if this expanded beyound qmail, at
least to the other djb stuff like djbdns and such.
/magnus - och ja, jag skall ta mig en titt på det där med QMTP nu, om inte
annat för att inkludera QMTP-stöd i dsniff...
