And another one...
ok, the bugs in the SRPM should be fixed by now.
For the time being, I decided to upload the RPMs to a NEW URL:
^^^^^^^
http://indigo.ie/~pumuckel/
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
List of RPMs (all for Red Hat Linux 5.2):
- mutt-1.0pre1i-2.rhl5.rpm
- mutt-1.0pre1i-2.cfp.rhl5.rpm
- mutt-1.0pre1i-2.cfp.src.rpm
This is the international version of mutt, i.e. it includes PGP support
(you'll need to have pgp installed to take advantage of this).
I'm currently working on RPMs for the US version - probably some time over
the weekend (unless we're up to pre2 by then... ;-} )
I've attached the RPM.README file for more information. Be sure to read all
documentation in /usr/doc/mutt-1.0pre1i...
:-)
Enjoy,
Thomas
P.S.: Still wanted: Folks to build RPMs for other distros!

|O| mutt-1.0pre1i |X|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This RPM packages was built for Red Hat Linux 5.2. However, using the
source RPM, it should be reasonably easy to rebuild them for other RPM
based Linux distributions as well. If you would like to contribute RPMs
based on my spec file and join me in providing RPMs for more than just
one distribution, please drop me a note. Thanks!
The packages lives on http://www.bigfoot.com/~kaytan/tuxior.html
and may end up on contrib.redhat.com as well.
It is signed with my PGP key. (public key available at:
http://www.bigfoot.com/~kaytan/emgaron.txt)
These packages are available both with and without the compressed
folder patch from Roland Rosenfeld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
Here's how to tell the difference:
Plain Red Hat Linux 5.2 (glibc 2.0) packages look like this:
mutt-1.0pre1i-1.rhl5.i386.rpm
^^^^^^^^^
Red Hat Linux 5.2 (glibc 2.0) packages with compressed folder
patch look like this:
mutt-1.0pre1i-1.cfp.rhl5.i386.rpm
^^^^^^^^^
Usage Notes:
mutt was linked against ncurses. This has the advantage of providing
a slighty better colour support than S-Lang (default colours work
better) but the disadvantage, that ncurses/mutt won't display
colours if the TERM variable is set to xterm. To take advantage of
the colour display, you'll have to either set TERM to xterm-color or
use the cmutt script I provided. cmutt is a simple shell script
which sets TERM to xterm-color if necessary and then calls mutt.
Note that *no* default colours are defined in /etc/Muttrc. However,
I did provide a sample colour setup in /etc/Muttrc, though commented
out. To enable it, you either need to uncomment those lines, or
(recommended) copy the file into your home directory as ".muttrc"
and edit that file.
In addition, this file contains a list of all mutt variables and the
global PGP, POP3 and compressed folder settings (compressed folder version
only!). All of this can be overridden in a personal $HOME/.muttrc file.
Be sure to read mutt's manual /usr/doc/mutt-1.0pre1i/manual.txt!
If you're using mutt's standard configuration, F1 should also display the
manual.
Important SRPM/Rebuild Notes:
- Both plain and cfp version of the binary RPMs can be built from
the same SRPM (hence I provide only one). Look into the file
mutt-1.0pre1i.spec.in for details.
- You might encounter problems when rebuilding if you changed the
permissions on /var/spool/mail from the stock Red Hat value
(-rwxrwxr-x root mail).
If you changed the permissions to -rwxrwxrwx root mail,
"mutt_dotlock" will not get built and the rebuild will fail with an
error (as that file is missing). To succeed in rebuilding, either
change the permissions back (at least temprarily during the build)
or change the spec file (remove the %files entry for mutt_dotlock).

|O| Changes & Notes |X|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* mutt-1.0pre1i-2 *
- BUGFIX: Files got installed on the life filesystem in
/usr/share/mutt during rebuild - see next point
- Back to using DESTDIR during install. Redefined --with-docdir
to get docs installed where rpm can deal with them.
Thereby, all "stray install" problems seem to be solved in one go -
oh joy!
- Re-checked and updated %files section
=> BUGFIX: The charsets never got installed! (unless one rebuilt
the SRPM, see first point)
- spec.in file can now be used for both international and US version
* mutt-1.0pre1i-1 *
No major changes. I really intend to get out a RHL 6.0 i386 RPM soon...
* mutt-0.95.7i-1 *
A few improvements, based on the feedback I got after the 0.95.6i-1
release:
- the patch to add colour definitions to Muttrc now only adds
commented lines. That way, it's really up to the user to either
uncomment those or (recommended) to copy Muttrc to $HOME/.muttrc
and edit that.
- cmutt has been improved and now uses "tput" to determine the
colour capabilities of the terminal it's in. Thanks to
Thomas E. Dickey for the suggestion.
- BUGFIX: During "install" (while building the RPM), the directory
"html" got installed on the life system rather than in the
RPM_BUILD_ROOT. Fixed by using "docdir" in install.
The same (well - except for the changes mentioned above) three
patches were applied to the sources as in mutt-0.95.6i-1 (see
below).
* mutt-0.95.6i-1 *
I changed the naming conventions. ".cfp" in the name now marks RPMs with
the compressed folder patch applied. It is now possible to build
both the plain and the patched version from the same spec.in file by
simply providing a command line switch when running bash over the
spec.in file.
Three patches were applied to the source in this RPM:
- patch to add colour definitions /etc/Muttrc
- patch to add compressed folder settings to /etc/Muttrc ("cfp" version only)
- compressed folder patch ("cfp" version only)
* mutt-0.95.5i-1 *
This is the first time I release a mutt RPM with this type of spec
file (m4 based).
Several patches were applied to the original source:
- fcc bugfix patch
- function key bugfix patch
- menu bugfix patch
- compressed folder patch
- patch to add colour definitions and compressed folder settings to
/etc/Muttrc
Added a shell script cmutt to set TERM before running mutt.
Added menu entry in /etc/X11/wmconfig.
* Please please read the documentation in /usr/doc/mutt-0.95.7i/

|O| Red Hat Linux 5.x (glibc 2.0) Notes |X|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THOMAS: The package was built on a i586 (K6-2/300) system running
Red Hat Linux 5.2 (Apollo), with all official Red Hat updates applied.
NOTE: This means I was using rpm 3.0 to build this package!
This system has the following library versions:
libc.so.6.0.7 <--(glibc 2.0.7)
libnsl.so.1 <--(glibc 2.0.7)
libncurses.so.4 <--(ncurses-4.2-10)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 <--(glibc 2.0.7)
and the following other relevant packages:
gcc-2.7.2.3-14
rpm-3.0.2-5.x
A message to Red Hat 5.0 users: This package is built against a newer
versions of glibc than ships with Red Hat 5.0. I would personally
recommend upgrading your system to Red Hat 5.2, which is much more
stable and mature, but if that is not possible, I recommend that you
at least apply all of the official errata updates (especially the
glibc updates). These updates can be found at ftp://updates.redhat.com
Red Hat 5.2 users should have no difficulty installing this package.
