+> Hello,
+>
+> I see you blindly imported the proftpd package from Mandriva a few days
+> ago.
+>
+> http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=337420
+>
+> This overwrote the changes I pushed a few weeks back.
+>
+> http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=331311
+> http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=331662
+>
+> And you've added a whole bunch of legacy service calls in %post and
+> %postun. Please use systemctl syntax here.
+>
+> In addition, you've overwritten several changes we've made in the last
+> year. e.g. xinetd fixes, ftpuser fixes etc.
+>
+>
+>
+> Please be careful not to break things and don't blindly import something
+> on the assumption it's better :(
+>
+> I think it's is likely quite rare now that importing another distro's
+> package over the top of a package we've updated several times is a good
+> idea...
+>
+>
+> I've reapplied the changes we made now, but I'm guessing a more thorough
+> review would still be a good idea.
+>
+> I've got enough of a package backlog to fix up, so please ensure you do
+> not break things again :(
