Subject: New virtual package names.

I need to add imapd-client and imapd-server to the list of virtual package
names. Are we still doing this the "old" way? (That is, I download the
package name file, make the required changes, wait for argument, finding
no objection upload the new file) I seem to remember a hint from someone
on the list that they were "maintianing" the virtual package name list. If
this is the case, please contact me about these names.

Thanks,

Dwarf

I posted a new version of the list to debian-devel a couple of days ago, and
it is now on master.debian.org in doc/package-developer.  An extract of the
instructions included follows:

----
The procedure for updating the list is as follows:

1. Post to debian-devel saying what names you intend to use or what
   other changes you wish to make.

2. Wait a few days for comment.

3. Mail the maintainer of the virtual package name list (Warwick Harvey
   <[email-masked]>) notifying him of the consensus reached (or
   your suggestions if noone objected).  The list maintainer will then
   post the new list to debian-devel and upload it to the FTP site.

4. Go and use the new or changed names.
----

I guess we're up to step 2.  :-)

Use `imap-client' and `imap-server', without the `d'.  `imapd' is the
name of a particular program; `imap' is the name of the protocol.  You
want the latter.

Ian.
