Copy the whole, multiple issues report, as a message to pkg-exim4-users. Just to have it archived. 2. close the bug. ?

Just to have it archived.No need, the bug report is already archived.> 2. close the bug.As you might have noticed I have gone through the whole report, picked up the valid issues and forwarded a patch upstream. It has been applied <http://git.exim.org/exim.git/commit/a543079f3c7a2ca09a90a9728a9726439f33eb60>, we will close the Debian bug once we include the patch in an upload to Debian. (Probably when packaging the new upstream release.) cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.

Might save it anyway and close (or ask on the users group if anyone has this issue now).

We''re very happy to take documentation fixes - including as changes to text/html if really necessary, but any bugs reported in that form take much more work to resolve in much the same way as you giving me a binary diff of spec.pdf or exim.o - the source looks somewhat different. So by playing games with spec.txt at the debian package level you are making life hard for the debian package maintainers, the upstream maintainers and probably yourselves... All the actors here are short on time, so making things hard tends to mean things just don''t get fixed. Thanks to Andreas for putting the work into fixing and pushing those bug fixes upstream.
