Is this a "reportable" bug?
What counts as a reportable bug in Crux and what is "upstream" and therefore someone else's responsibility? I ask because there is a critical bug in Sylpheed v.310 (built last week) which seems to be identical to one reported on the Debian list on 2nd February (Bug #611855). -- Hazel Russman <hazel_russman@yahoo.co.uk>

hi, as Sylpheed is my favourite client and i use it everyday i never noticed this kind of problem. Instead, if you use gnupg & gpgme you'll need pinentry-gtk2 too. greetz, - -- GNU/Linux on Power Architecture CRUX PPC - http://cruxppc.org/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk1S0L8ACgkQxq34tDeO7LjA9wCfUvOz7/wpTWpfAw7NxOFH5mRa P14AnjfPI6PB8uqchFSJR02g6tmaEVLv =CeyX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

That's definitely a upstream bug and not within our scope. As a general rule our ports provide plain upstream software without CRUX specific patches that go beyond configuration. As always there are exceptions, e.g. if the program is no longer maintained upstream but still required for some reason. An example might be core/tcp_wrappers, for which we use the patches collected by gentoo. Greetings Juergen -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux
