Hi,
I would like to add alpine to the extra repo where it will replace
pine which is no longer being developped. Reference: FS#9040.
+2, the second for encouragement!
Can we leave pine there too for a little while until people have had a
chance to transition?
I don't see the need: pine is no longer being developped, so there will
be no updates. People who already have it installed will need a
transition, people who don't will immediately start with alpine. A
package in the repository is no longer needed.
If it would be better, I could add alpine to testing first with the
replace line in and keep pine in extra. And after 1-2 weeks , move
alpine
to extra and remove pine. That might ease up the transition but I agree
with Thomas here.
I agree with you two as well. pine users should know what they're
doing anyway, so a transition shouldn't be hard
Should alpine go straight in extra or in testing first?
I'd say let's just drop it in testing for a short stint. I'll use a
guy in our office as a test case upgrade.
