Certainly, the pine licence is not something I like. From memory, editors mostly use mutt or a graphical client (actually, looking at this particular mailbox, most editors don't admit to their user agent). So, probably the best way forward on this is to build and test it, update the ticket when it is confirmed to work , and either attach a patch or just comment on any changed dependencies or configuration, plus the time and size information / interesting configure switches, anything necessary to build docs or to install them in a versioned directory. From my point of view, the _big_ problem with updating a package I don't use is that I can see obvious changes, but unless someone can say it works reliably when built using the instructions it might just be a problem waiting to catch someone several months down the line. Otherwise, I would have moved on with sqlite3 sooner, and updated thunderbird as part of that. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
