Details

ssmtp-2.48-1 installs its config files in /usr/etc, not /etc. It is also very out-of-date - version 2.60.12 is (I think) the current version.

An updated PKGBUILD for the newer version is attached; it installs the config files in the correct location. I've hacked the existing PKGBUILD a bit to cope with the odd default makefiles that ssmtp comes with.

attached updated PKGBUILD:
- version 2.61
- ssmtp binaty moved from /usr/sbin to /usr/bin
- correct path in backup="" (leading '/' removed)

Though the /usr/etc bug is fixed in the last package upload, it does not fix the security bug in this old version of ssmtp.

The FTP URL is incorrect in the package, an outdated version is kept there. The attachments uploaded by Kamil contain references to the debian pool, which is the location most distributions are linking to.

Please update package to current version.

Attachments are not working, I'm guessing they got lost in the last flyspray upgrade. I don't think I forgot anything this time around though.
