I'm sponsoring this fast-track request for Paul Jakma.  The timer is
set to 10/26/2007.

Intended for SFW consolidation with "Micro" release binding, treating
SFW updates as such.

Background

  Alpine is a free, text-based, user-friendly yet powerful Mail User
  Agent (MUA).  Alpine is developed by the University of Washington
  and succeeds PINE, the very well-known MUA.  Alpine is, modulo
  regressions, fully backward compatible with PINE in terms of UI and
  configuration.

  Alpine is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0, where PINE
  is licensed under a unique licence which does not allow for
  redistribution of modified versions.

  Alpine supports IMAP; POP3; various local, file-based mailstores;
  TLS; GSSAPI authentication; UTF-8 (lacking in PINE), amongst other
  things.

Proposal

  - Deliver Alpine, version 0.9999 or later, to SFW.
  - Remove PINE from the Companion CD.

Interfaces

  SUNWalpine            Uncommitted     SFW Package Name

  /usr/bin/pine         Uncommitted     Symlink to alpine
  SFWpine               Removed         CCD Package Name
  /opt/sfw/bin/pico     Removed
  /opt/sfw/bin/pilot    Removed
  /opt/sfw/bin/pine     Removed
  /opt/sfw/bin/rpdump   Removed

Man pages will be delivered (/usr/share/man) for pine(1), alpine(1),
pico(1), pilot(1), rpdump(1), and rpload(1).
