Towards 4.71

So is anything outstanding for 4.71?
Only thing I can see is http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=914
and the NetBSD 5 issues - which I don't have any patch for as yet.

Nigel.

Well, one thing has been on my mind about a future update.

I've become intimately familiar with Exim's rate-limiting functions,
and over the past year or so I've kept an eye out for any updates from
Tony Finch about a new ratelimit feature patch that he posted about
back on February 5th, 2008:

http://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20080205.173013.c5e70188.en.html

It stood to rework the existing ratelimiting functions, cleaning them
up, and making them easier to understand and use. However, I haven't
seen him post on this list much this year, if at all.

I thought about taking his patch, testing it further, making any
corrections and submitting it, but I didn't want to step on any
toes by doing so.

Anyone know if anything came of it? Would it be appropriate for me to
do that? Not sure how ettiquitte, or even legality, works for this
given that the patch was never formally submitted or released.

I emailed him earlier this year but never got a reply.

I would appreciate if the "stop dkim fom adding empty lines to
debugging output patch in
http://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20091114.160115.b4d8e58b.en.html
could go in at some point, but I can understand if you want limit
pre-release changes to important ones.

Its a trivial change - I'll put it in.

Ideally can anything that wants a change be pushed into bugzilla - otherwise it will get overlooked.

I'll put the runtest changes in too.

Thank you. I will use bugzilla if something else pops up.

Any chance http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=847 could be done in
4.71? It has six votes for whatever that's worth and it's a trivial
change...

Anyone else want to speak up for it... it is pretty small in both effect and implementation.

[.Its a wishlist item which is why its not been touched up to now - I've been specifically excluding wishlist when going through bugzilla because the list was so long]

For inclusion by default? Yes please.

The additional parts of that bug are enhancements which would require
code work. Probably best, Mike, If you separate the extra bits out.

Sorry, that was me waffling with side-commentary in what was supposed to
be me speaking up in support.

Bugs shoved on my to-do list for future tinkering.

Re: Towards 4.71 [In reply to]

Apologies for the somewhat haphazard nature of this message, and even more
apologies if I'm mis-remembering something. I just wanted to "head 'em off
at the pass" before Nigel builds 4.71 ...

I may be completely wrong, but ISTR there was a recent fix which _removed_
that additional newline, so this looks to me like a regression. Right now
I don't have the time or the wherewithal to go hunting for it, I'm afraid.
I did find a message from Andreas Metzler reporting it, at
http://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20091114.160115.b4d8e58b.en.html

Sorry I can't be more specific, but better safe than sorry. (I hope;
otherwise it is egg-on-face time)

HTH,
Richard

No egg on face, and thanks to Nigel for already re-fixing it :)

OK, I have tagged 4.71, and built all the release files, but put them in
http://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/Testing/
ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/Testing/

Unless anyone shouts I'll move them live, sign them, and push a release announcement out tomorrow.

Builds on CentOS 5.4 using my much-edited spec file derived from
RedHat's distro spec file.

Running nicely, ta very much.

Thanks for reminding me - I had built, but not installed the rpm on tahini.

Now running on tahini - if you get this message then something works!

Compiles and runs fine on OpenBSD 4.6 amd64 as well.
