Well, I certainly agree that tarballs (or binaries at all) aren't a nice thing to hold in CVS and in fact, I hesitated quite some while before doing so. The problem is, ISPMan has (IMHO) to provide a reference for perl libs that are proven to work with that specific release. Now, I had the same idea to just fetch them via wget, but I figured that some (older) releases were not downloadable from CPAN any more. Although this is no problem with current releases, it may render an ISPMan release unusable/uninstallable over time eventually. So finally, I was just left with the choice of bundling the perl libs with ispman. > I run amavisd-new on several servers... all I do is run 'apt-get install > amavisd-new clamav' and it handles everything :-) That's exactly what I'm having in mind and getting those debian packages ready is now only a matter of time ;) Joerg ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285
