Agreed, much thought has already gone into the package. Any remaining
problems can be fixed after it is imported into CVS. We just have to
make sure of two things that I can see:
1) The default password is somehow securely handled. I didn't read too
carefully, how was this resolved?
2) Users wont accidentally upgrade from a possible custom jabberd
package that uses a database backend and break their install.
So maybe enabling all the DB backends in the CVS import would be good?
Then verify & revise in CVS at least these two conditions before
requesting the build.
If Adrian is willing to go forward, he may import it.
