[fetchmail-devel] issues pending before 6.2.6 -- IANA vs. UNIX character/coding set

[Matthias A. <ma...@dt...>]

Greetings!

What is our current TODO list WRT a 6.2.6 release other than

1. potentially mapping local character sets onto IANA character sets for
warning mails that we send out [*]

2. Rob setting up and running the regression tests?

It seems there hasn't been a fetchmail release in over a year now, and
I'd think it's about time that we get 6.2.6 out, even if not all pending
issues are fixed, as long as the pending issues aren't avoidable or
easily fixable regressions since 6.2.0 or 6.2.5.

[*] I'll probably just copy in

Since you ask :)

I submitted a bug report on 13/10/04:
[fetchmail-devel] [BUG] fetchmail hangs during pop3 pull after a mail 
with a null char
(I assume you'll have a copy - yell if I should resend it)

I'd previously submitted it to fetchmail-friends where Rob MacGregor 
suggested I send it here.

This problem is still occuring and I now have expunge 1 all the time :(

I'd like to help fix it if I could.

David

OK, I have looked at the regression tests and fixed (ESR's programming
style was pretty locale agnostic, but mbox format in TEST.LOG is quite
sensitive to localized timestamps) and updated the torturetest.py
scripts to use my sender address. I then found that a good deal of the
test sites are either no longer offering esr's test account and
refusing/bouncing mail, or don't let us log in.

We may need to ask those sites that are still reachable for new
passwords, but for the nonce, we have a handful of sites that work and
that we can fetch from.
