This is Debian GNU/Linux's prepackaged version of Raphael Manfredi's mailagent program. This version of mailagent was put together by Manoj Srivastava , from the sources distributed directly by the author, Raphael Manfredi , at: http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=dist&query=mailagent The changes in this package are essentially the addition of support for the Debian package maintenance scheme, by adding various debian.* files. The changes in the default configuration are using the pager /bin/more, and using /usr/bin/ae as the default editor, since these programs are guaranteed to be present in any debian system. The other changes are to ensure that a .config directory is present, so that no mail message is sent to the maintainer while building the debian package. An over- ride file is also used to ensure that installation occurs into a local debian-tmp directory, required to build the debianized version. The "getcost" program found in the original sources under misc/getcost was not included in the package, due to the restriction imposed by the original "getcost" author (not Raphael Manfredi). The program can nonetheless be found in the original sources. See the README file for more information Manoj Srivastava arch-tag: 7f43bdd4-92f6-4375-964d-ca0f043448b2
