Please backport nail (12.3+cvs20080629-1) from Intrepid to Hardy

[Shaun Hills]

Per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nail/+bug/192129, nail is not available in Hardy.

It's available in Intrepid as a dummy package (nail has been renamed to heirloom-mailx - also not in Hardy):

http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/nail

Can this please be backported from Intrepid to Hardy as it's a useful way to send mail without requiring an MTA on the system.

Any progress on this?

FWIW, I decided not to wait and rewrote our various scripts to use msmtp. YMMV, etc.

[Kristian Domke (kristian-neither-nor)]

I'd like to have nail in hardy too.

Any large show stoppers in this?

It looks like this bug requests a backport from Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid
Ibex). However, as Intrepid is no longer supported, such a backport is
no longer possible.

This bug is being set to "Won't Fix". If you would still like to move
forward with this backport request, please re-open the bug and adjust
it to request a backport from a current release.
