Debian Changelog sa-exim (4.2.1-14)

2011

sa-exim (4.2.1-14) unstable; urgency=low

   * Updated Danish and Dutch Debconf template translations (Closes:
     #608447, #634314).
   * Drop the defaults for SAspamcHost and SAspamcPort, deferring to spamc
     as to what the defaults will be if those options are not set in
     sa-exim.conf (Closes: #506571).
   * The "nobody" user and "nogroup" group should not own files. Therefore,
     create /var/spool/sa-exim/tuplets with Debian-exim as owner on new
     installations and run greylistclean as Debian-exim by default. Don't
     change ownership of already existing /var/spool/sa-exim or
     /var/spool/sa-exim/tuplets, since the local admin may have different
     preferences, but give the Debian-exim group the write permission it
     needs if /var/spool/sa-exim/tuplets is owned by "nobody" and spamd
     runs as the calling user (Closes: #563492). Add documentation to
     README.Debian and remove recommendation to run spamd as "nobody" from
     README and README.greylisting.
   * Some tidying of debian/rules and the packaging in general:
     * Add build-arch and build-indep targets.
     * Remove configure target; it's not a mandatory target.
     * Remove install target and use dh_install (and dh_lintian) to put the
       files in the staging directory.
     * Replace /var/spool/exim with /var/spool/sa-exim in the Debian patch
       instead of using sed.
     * Pass SUFF='' to the makefile instead of renaming sa-exim-4.2.1.so
       afterwards.
     * Put our version of the crontab file in debian/greylistclean.cron.d
       and install it using dh_installcron.
     * Upgrade to Debhelper compat level 7. Replace dh_clean -k with
       dh_prep.
   * Switch to source package format 3.0 (quilt), splitting the Debian
     patch as follows:
     * api-limitations.patch: Changes needed because Exim exports only the
       symbols that are part of the official API.
     * spamc-args.patch: Changes related to the arguments sent to spamc.
     * grey-clean-sender.patch: Simplify the sender address so that senders
       using VERP, SRS, etc. hopefully won't be greylisted each and every
       time.
     * grey-only-ipv4.patch: Bail out if a non-IPv4 address is encountered.
     * improved-default-conf.patch: General improvements (in my opinion) of
       the default sa-exim.conf.
     * spamd-not-nobody.patch: Strike the recommendation that spamd run as
       nobody.
     * save-path.patch: Put saved mail in /var/spool/sa-exim instead of
       /var/spool/exim.
     * readme.patch: Other additions to the README file(s).
   * Update Standards-Version to 3.9.2.

2009

sa-exim (4.2.1-12) unstable; urgency=low

   * Debconf templates and debian/control reviewed by the debian-l10n-
     english team as part of the Smith review project (Closes: #517169).
   * Corresponding Debconf translation updates:
     * Brazilian Portuguese from Adriano Rafael Gomes. (Closes: #519422).
     * Czech from Miroslav Kure (Closes: #518989).
     * Finnish from Esko Arajärvi (Closes: #518200).
     * German from Matthias Julius (Closes: #518332).
     * Galician from Marce Villarino. (Closes: #519487).
     * Italian from Luca Monducci (Closes: #519177).
     * Japanese from Hideki Yamane (Closes: #518502).
     * Portuguese from Miguel Figueiredo. (Closes: #519002).
     * Swedish from Martin Bagge (Closes: #518325).
     * Vietnamese from Clytie Siddall (Closes: #517813).
   	* French from Christian Perrier (Closes: #532560).
     The following translations have not been updated yet: da, es, fr, nl.
   * Add Russian Debconf translation (Closes: #529808). Thanks to Yuri Kozlov.
   * debian/postinst: Don't call mv with a prepended path.
   * debian/control: Put back ${misc:Depends} in Depends.
   * debian/copyright: Point to the GPL 2.0 license text since this package
     is licensed under that version only.
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1.
   * Increase Debhelper compat level to 5.
   * Override Lintian warning about depending on exim4-localscanapi-1.1
     without a real package as a primary alternative, since adding that
     would defeat the purpose of not having to keep track of which version
     of Exim provides which API/ABI version.

     SpamAssassin. Add information regarding auto-expire problems
     (Closes: #461219).
   * Stop including the SA 2.x greylisting patches altogether (due to a
     typo only of them was included anyway).
   * This package seems to comply with policy 3.8.0 already.

 -- Magnus Holmgren <holmgren@debian.org>  Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:11:02 +0200

2007

sa-exim (4.2.1-9) unstable; urgency=high

   * Fix ugly bug caused by expanding $primary_hostname to the
     non-permanent memory pool, where it will be overwritten when
     receiveing multiple messages over the same connection (strangely
     enough, nobody noticed).
   * Depend on the local_scan ABI version returned by
     exim4-localscan-plugin-config instead of all exim4-daemon-* variants
     (Closes: #426425).
   * debian/control: Indent Homepage: line and add XS-Vcs-* fields.

 -- Magnus Holmgren <magnus@kibibyte.se>  Tue, 21 Aug 2007 22:28:01 +0200

sa-exim (4.2.1-8) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Urgency medium to reach testing before exim4.
   * Since version 4.67-1, exim4 only exports those symbols that are part
     of the official local_scan API. Unfortunately, sa-exim cheated and
     declared three extern variables by itself:
     · primary_hostname: Now retrieved by expanding "$primary_hostname".
     · smtp_out: Use smtp_fflush() to get error indication.
     · body_linecount: No workaround; $body_linecount simply won't be
       updated. I'm working to get Exim to update it along with other
       variables such as $message_size.
     (Closes: #420443, #420555, #420736)

 -- Magnus Holmgren <magnus@kibibyte.se>  Thu, 26 Apr 2007 16:05:26 +0200

sa-exim (4.2.1-7) unstable; urgency=low

   * Don't depend on debconf in postrm; if we can't prompt the user,
     leave the spool directory alone (Closes: #417027).
   * Do not pass a '-u' parameter to spamc if SAspamcUser expands to the
     empty string.

 -- Magnus Holmgren <magnus@kibibyte.se>  Tue, 3 Apr 2007 13:02:48 +0200

sa-exim (4.2.1-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Added Portuguese Debconf template translation (Closes: #415537).
     Thanks to Pedro Ribeiro.
   * It is now possible to pass a username to spamc. See the SAspamcUser
     option in sa-exim.conf.
   * Build-depend on exim4-dev.

 -- Magnus Holmgren <magnus@kibibyte.se>  Tue, 20 Mar 2007 14:25:31 +0100

sa-exim (4.2.1-5) unstable; urgency=low

     Thanks to Matthias Julius.

sa-exim (4.0-3) unstable; urgency=low

   + Changed hard depend on spamc, since that's all sa-exim needs.

     another host. This entry closes: #253393

     header is now fixed by newer versions of the exim4 package.
