#2530: Replace pine with alpine --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: future Component: BOOK | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Keywords: --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Right now, BLFS includes Pine plus a big patch that is questionable from a legal viewpoint (because distribution of modified Pine versions is prohibited), but required in order to have a functional Pine in UTF-8 based system. Alpine (http://www.washington.edu/alpine/) is a fork of the last Pine version that didn't have the offending clause in the license, and incorporates this patch and many others. I recommend switching. The page (http://www.suse.de/~bk/pine/FAQ.html) where we got this patch from now says it is deprecated in favor of Alpine.
