CVS commit: pkgsrc/mail/imap-uw



Module Name:    pkgsrc
Committed By:   jwise
Date:           Tue Nov  4 17:16:55 UTC 2008

Modified Files:
        pkgsrc/mail/imap-uw: Makefile

Log Message:
Stop maintaining this -- this is an out-of-date version needed by the
version of pine in mail/pine.  I've switched to mail/alpine as MUA, and
mail/dovecot for imap service, and so should you.

This package should be updated to the current version of imap-uw.  Although
we are _not_ vulnerable to the current secunia advisory for imap-uw -- we do
not install tmail or dmail with the setuid bit set, nor advise users to
configure their mta to pass untrusted mailbox names to dmail on the command
line (who would do this?), there will eventually be a vulnerability which
does affect this old version.

However, as long as we support mail/pine, upgrading is not quite
straightforward -- the last version of mail/pine links against the version
of imap-uw currently included herein, and an upgrade would require testing.
