Well, lot of poeple have answered before and not a lot things to add. Pine is free software but with a very strange license, it is possible to distribute source, source with patch, patch or binary, but not a patched binary. Then it is not enough free to be integrated in Mandrake. RedHat have agreement to use it in distro. I asked there some month, I am still waiting a response. Actually it is in plf: [nanardon@virgo plf]$ find -name "pine*" ./9.0/i586/pine-4.44-4plf.i586.rpm ./src/pine-4.44-4plf.src.rpm ./cooker/ppc/pine-4.44-4plf.ppc.rpm ./cooker/i586/pine-4.44-4plf.i586.rpm If you have patch, or fix, send me... I package it because I need it at work. -- Linux pour Mac !? Enfin le moyen de transformer une pomme en v�ritable ordinateur. - JL. Olivier Thauvin - http://nanardon.homelinux.org/
