Package: mutt-ng Version: 0.0+20050916-1 Severity: wishlist Hi there.
I am right now playing with mutt-ng directly taken from experimental and it does seem more sensible (at least with the naming of the variables) than mutt. I would, therefore, like to use it in preference of mutt, even if I have mutt installed. Unfortunately, some programs already use mutt as a hardcoded value (for instance, this very same bugreport tool that I am using right now, when invoked with the -M option). So, would it be possible to provide a way (say, via alternatives) so that the system administrator could choose which version to give preference? I think that using alternatives would be quite painless to implement and I can send a patch if desired. Oh, BTW, it seems to be mature enough to warrant a first upload to unstable (so that it can move to testing, where more people would use it). Thanks for packaging muttng, Rogério Brito. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-rc4-1 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages mutt-ng depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgnutls11 1.0.16-13.1 GNU TLS library - runtime library ii libidn11 0.5.18-1 GNU libidn library, implementation ii libncursesw5 5.4-9 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libqdbm11 1.8.30-1 QDBM Database Libraries [runtime] ii libsasl2 2.1.19-1.5 Authentication abstraction library ii qmail [mail-transport-agent] 1.03-9 DJB's qmail mutt-ng recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
