Just for the records: it's _not_ only his personal bias, but Jonathan got the collective OK from the core-team for this import, considering the possible side-effects. We believe this was the best decision to do right now. This doesn't mean things could and should not be reconsidered after e. g. a year. You could note that there are precendent cases for both, software going out of the regular tree into ports and vice versa, so if vmailer turned out to be used by only a small minority, there's no fear it could not be moved into a port then. Apart from this, i agree with Poul-Henning here (and you might notice i didn't always agree with him during the recent couple of weeks :), this discussion is only a waste of bandwidth. Nobody is hurt by vmailer, people who love sendmail (like me) or even need it (for UUCP, like me :) still have it, people who are looking for an alternative that's easier to configure have the option as well. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
