Thank you for the new review.

As suggested, I have removed the "provides" for the man pages and stubs which do
nothing. I have also added the "-p" switch, but a quick look shows no
differences in the behaviour... Maybe because %doc already preserves the
timestamps and man pages are gzipped before being packaged. Nothing else is
preserved from upstream.

The fact that the included patches were retrieved from Debian and Mandrake
respectively is mentioned in the very first entry of the Changelog. I have
decided to rename the patches in order to maintain the more-or-less standard
policy of patch names used in RH. The included Debian patch is still at revision
6 because
- major change in revision 7 is IPv6; the others are just Debian related.
Unfortunately I have no IPv6 support around and cannot test
- major change in rev 8 is the switch from openssl to gnutls. For the time being
I cannot afford to test this either because all of the machines I run ssmtp on
are production machines.
Not to mention that the first listed change in rev7 is "ssmtp maintained via
alioth: http://alioth.debian.org/projects/ssmtp/" but the link says "This
Project Has Not Released Any Files" :) 
I will again into the SSL differences some time later, probably next month.



New versions of the spec file and SRPMS are available at
