Comment 4 for bug 728469

Hello

i am the current mantainer of emesene and i fully support Devid. We worked together in order to make a Debian/Ubuntu package available for the next cycle of both distros. emesene version 1 is unmantained, with a self-poorly-written library and all the culprits of 5 years of wild development.

emesene-2 is a fresh start. it's not complete, it has its bugs but it's surely a better start for the future. we don't get lots of contributions mostly because potential devs are fine with the bugged 1.6-x serie. We want to invert that trend providing a solid base where developers can get easily into. Here's why the tight ubuntu-integration and the use of external libraries for protocols.

Since the package will be in universe (and natty is certainly not a LTS) i don't think it will be a problem shipping an "unstable" version for everyone to test out and improve.

Regards
