The few of us doing some work are doing our best to get things working, but the task mountain is big. We know that v9/ CentOS 6 is EOL this weekend, but we can do no more than we are currently doing.
Currently there is only around a
dozen (12 or so) of us doing any meaningful work. About 4 or 5 of us doing code (and my bits of coding are tiny as I am useless), and several others doing some testing, documentation etc. Most of us have other jobs, and pandemics to cope with at work (or their mother visiting
) so we really don't have that much time to devote to this. If my wife knew how much time I have spent on it recently, she'd stab me.
I have said before, and I'll say it again.
We really need more hands.
There are swathes of updates coming through that need testing, bugs logging, wiki pages amending etc. You do not need to code to help.
SystemD migrationThis is huge and we are around half way through. It is time, and lots of work. Each service has to be migrated. It is slow painstaking work. Manpower helps......
Sambahttps://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11196bunkobugsy has helped me get Samba reverted to the upstream RHEL. We still have some work to do with Koozali/systemd.
https://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11209wsdd for browsing with SMB needs the same.
Clamavhttps://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11194We've have managed to get upstream Clamav installed and running, again with help from bunkobugsy. Install was pretty brutal to start with... ! It is still very much Alpha but I hope we can get it running smoothly shortly.
We used to roll our own as upstream was so out of date, but they are much more up to date now. So we have updated to 0.102.x Further updates as they are released should be much easier.
We still have quite a bit of stuff to do as a lot of file locations have moved and we need to rip up a lot of old configurations and move them about, but it is a big step forward and will make managing it easier as building it ourselves was a big task.
Spamassassinhttps://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11206Anyway, with a last touch of deftness from Jean Philippe we have managed to get the latest spamassassin 3.4.4 on v10
This needs some serious messing about with as there will be a load of new options we can play with to tune it up more. I am no expert so please tell us what we should look at.
Enhancing Spam management on SME will be a good thing.
There is also work by Brian on smeserver-dovecot-extras and smeserver-unjunkmgr so we can do even more with Junk processing.
-----------------
There are a lot of contribs now in smetest that Brian has imported (he IS Mr Contribs right now!)
They all need testing. There are a lot more that are imported but may not work correctly, We'll try and fix them as we go, but quite honestly we are going to fix the stuff that WE want first...... if you help you can have a say yourself.
So please, get in touch, and get involved.
