I would very much like build balsa for EL-6 but it requires libesmtp
which has no EL-6 branch. I am libesmtp packager for fedora and I have
unsuccessfully tried to create it. I have found
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#How_do_I_request_a_EPEL_branch_for_an_existing_Fedora_package.3F
and created
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612334
I have not got a response yet, though.
I do not quite know what the next step should be...
