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.
