Do the > annotations require a custom patch to c-client as well? The request to include the annotations patch at Debian is at: http://bugs.debian.org/456947 But as you can see, it is marked as blocked by http://bugs.debian.org/456591 (the request against uw-imap/libc-client to include the patch.) Therefore, the blocker at the php level is enabling the annotations code at configure time if the system supports it. Of course, support on libc-client is necessary for it to be of any use. I just talked to Jonas Smedegaard (the Debian maintainer of libc-client,) and apparently the reason for not merging it is that the code is dead upstream and unmaintainable. A dead end. While digging for alternatives, it appears that there was a discussion in 2004 for FC2 about the situation of libc-client, but besides that: nothing. As it seems, the best and maintainable solution is to switch to some other alternative library (sadly, there's no such candidate atm.) HTH -- Raphael Geissert
