25L<https://git.exim.org/exim.git>
26
27There is a secondary repository on github at

29- however this may currently fall out of synchronisation with the
30main one.

56If you are using a Linux or other freely available Unix like operating
57system it is very likely that your system will have Exim packaged for
58it already. In this case it is probably prudent to use these packages
59unless you have specialised requirements.
