Away for a bit

[Brian Stafford <brian stafford uklinux net>]

Hi all.

I'm away for a week from Saturday (20/10/2001), so don't expect any 
communication until Monday week.  I will release 0.8.7 when I get back, to fix 
the SEGV in headers.c and any other problems that surface between now and then.

I need an opinion from those who use RPM.  I removed the libesmtp.spec file 
since it appeared to cause problems on some platforms - but I may have been 
overcautious.  The spec file means RPMs can be built straight from the tarball 
but now I have a quandry.  configure adds some dependencies to 
libesmtp.spec.in depending on whether OpenSSL is configured or not.  This 
means two versions of libesmtp.spec can be built, one of which creates RPMs 
depending on openssl and/or openssl-devel.

I figure there are three options

1) No .spec in the tarball and force RPM builders to make a choice when they 
configure

2) .spec which builds OpenSSL dependent RPM

3) .spec which builds RPM without dependencies.

As I see it

1) is least convenient but the result is always the expected one

2) is best but has dependencies

3) is most convenient but omits useful functionality

When I get back I'll pick an approach based on the responses over next week.

BTW, has anyone got any stuff to make .debs?  If so, I'll put that in the 
tarball too.

Regards
Brian.
