Hi, Is testing-security currently operational? If so, might it be worth an update for exim4, which is currently held up by the perl 5.12 migration? Cheers, Dominic. -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email)

The secure-testing team just works to keep track of issues and submit bug reports to keep maintainers aware. No one one the team at present seems to be interested in doing security updates for testing directly (unstable NMUs that eventually transition to testing are still done though). All of that is my perspective, and I could very well be wrong. Mike

That way you can do all the work yourself (which should be faster). Best wishes, Mike

It''s unlikely that I''ll do any work on this, not being an Exim maintainer and not using testing myself.
