derdakon / vpopmail Goto Github PK

This repository is an attempt to keep the development alive enough to keep the project still useful. I have taken over the maintenance of this project in Gentoo and as such have collected (and written) some patches to keep it building. The results can be found in the Gentoo branch.

I have tried my very best to generate a proper git history from the project repo as it is found at Sourceforge. The conversion script can be found in the branch Subversion-import.

I would welcome if any past contributor could have a look if my conversion makes sense.

And if the previous maintainers could tell me if it would be ok for them if I would take over the project maintenance and just do a new release. Or if they prefer that I fork the project under a new name (vpopmail-ng?). The preferred location would be in the notqmail organization, but if you prefer we can create a new org for vpopmail. I would welcome anyone who wants to continue working on this project.

I was looking at the code, saw brunonymous/vpopmail#12 and spotted a few i18n/encoding issues...

In Gentoo branch:

$ for F in $(find . -type f |grep -v -P '\.(tar|png|git)'); do cat $F |iconv -f utf-8 >/dev/null || echo $F; done

iconv: illegal input sequence at position 75932
./ChangeLog
iconv: illegal input sequence at position 125
./contrib/addusers.pl

Getting all text back to proper UTF-8 (checking on the Net for the proper names), I got to the attached diff.

i18n_fix.txt

Please apply that (not sure on which branch you want it, so not giving you a PR), a few of the branches seem to be affected. And hopefully soon we'll have new net-mail/vpopmail-5.6.2.ebuild to test ;-)
