Hello,
I am considering to temporarily disable BDAT in Debian's exim packages.
Afaict BDAT in exim is still stabilizing, multiple issues have shown up
since 4.88 and some are still unfixed.
OTOH we (Debian) do not have time to wait for BDAT to get ready. Debian
is currently preparing for a new stable release. On February 5 the "Full
Freeze" will come into effect, i.e. uploads targeted for the release
will require manual approval by the release team. (With the ten day
waiting period for automatic appproval, the upload deadline is about
January 26.
I would apply the attached patch.
Any thoughts, strong opinions against?
cu Andreas
