'Quite obviously'? Gee, since I know a lot more of the background
information on this, I would challenge your evidence.
The DCC author would welcome Debian replacing the old, broken code with
something new.
He personally supported the efforts of the FreeBSD ports maintainers in
making sure that current DCC code is in the FreeBsd Ports tree.
He is currently working on re-writting the DCC.pm for SA 3.3.x to make
it faster and more stable.
Or is it your debian folks just forgot to update it?
As was previously posted (by someone else) DCC is free for most
everyone, including ISP's who use it in their mail servers to protect
their own clients.
So, put your money where your mouth is. Why won't debian fix their
broken RPM? someone official from debian want to chime in?
