[ingo] FW: Patches for Net_Sieve & Ingo

[Etienne Goyer]

Hi list,

I too have a patch for Net_Sieve and Ingo.  My patch to Ingo actually
depend on the one to Net_Sieve.  I can see the included patch return
PEAR::Error when it receive a REFERRAL.  My patch actually follow the
referral and retry the command.  It also add support for CRAM-MD5 and
DIGEST-MD5 SASL mechanism, and "proxy" authentication support when using
PLAIN or DIGEST-MD5.  All three of these feature are capital if you plan
on using Net_Sieve with timsieved in a Cyrus Murder (cluster)
environment.  My patch to Ingo make use of these feature to make it
"Murder-enabled".

I had been trying since July to get this patch accepted in the
mainstream PEAR release of Net_Sieve so I can submit my patch to Ingo.  
The problem is that both maintainer of Net_Sieve do not respond to my 
repeated email.  Apparently, Richard Heyes is gone for a few months 
(Navy assignement, it seem), while Damian Sosa just don't answer his 
email.

I tried twice to bring up this issue in the PEAR-dev mailing list, but
received very little help.  This week-end, I will post the issue to
bugs.php.net and retry the PEAR-dev list.  I think both Jan and Chuck
are active on this list.  If this is the case and you have any leverage
among PEAR commiter, please back me up guys!  I think the new feature I 
have to offer to Ingo are worthwhile addition : proxy authentication 
support, timsieved + Murder support and safe SASL mechanism support.

I neglected to follow-up by posting my patch on bugs.php.net, but will
need to close this issue ASAP so I will get back to it in the coming
days.

In the meantime, if anybody is interested in my patch to Net_Sieve,
manifest yourself and I will either send you the patch privately or post
it on this list if enough people show interest.

Thank you all.
