The Debian exim 4 maintainer team proudly announces the upload of the
first version of Debian exim 4 packages to Debian experimental.
Highlights of the package include:
- Fully debconf-driven configuration
- Package has been designed to easily interact with other (future)
packages like exim-sa or exiscan.
- a semi-clean update path from exim 3 by trying to parse the exim 3
config file if it has been generated by eximconfig.
- Multiple daemon flavours for different environments in different
daemon packages. If somebody doesn't like our choice of features,
the infrastructure to build an exim4-daemon-custom package according
to the local user's choice is present in the source package.
- extremely flexible configuration schemes. The entire configuration
can be pulled in from a different Debian package, making our exim 4
package nice to support for larger installations.
- TLS support using GnuTLS.
- MySQl, Postgresql, LDAP support
- Marc Merlin's dlopen patch has been applied
Read README.Debian.gz for more documentation about the packaging.
Until the packages finally show up in the Debian archive, binary
packages built against the unstable development version of Debian
GNU/Linux, sid, can be apted from
deb
http://q.bofh.de/~mh/debian/exim4/sid /
and binary packages built against the stable version of Debian
GNU/Linux, woody, can be apted from
deb
http://q.bofh.de/~mh/debian/exim4/woody /
The woody path includes the packages that needed backporting from
unstable as well.
CAUTION: These are experimental packages. If they break, you get to
keep both pieces.
Any feedback about the packages is most welcome.
Greetings
Marc
