Hello,

It seems that the Debian maintainer has been working on pyzor to fix
some reported problems. The latest patch (i.e. their version of pyzor),
taken from the testing distribution, was released this year. In total
are 7 patches I think (I run Fedora Core myself so I've simply been
looking at the diff file Debian released). Details can be found at 
http://packages.debian.org/testing/mail/pyzor

Debian also has some man pages for pyzor/pyzord, which might be nice to
release generally. What I should do is compare the SF source code
against the released FC5 version, and then see how that compares to the
Debian version. From that it should be possible to extract the patches
which could be put up on to SF for the maintainer to check and others to
test if they want.



John.
