Folks, this is happening too fast... ;-) Anyway, the new RPMs are finished and available (as usual) at: http://www.bigfoot.com/~kaytan/tuxior.html Maybe this time I get round to upload them to incoming.redhat.com/libc6 ... Ahem... List of RPMs (all for Red Hat Linux 5.2): - mutt-1.0pre1i-1.rhl5.rpm - mutt-1.0pre1i-1.cfp.rhl5.rpm - mutt-1.0pre1i-1.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). The first version only inlcudes a small patch to add a sample colour setup (commented out) to the global configuration file Muttrc. To enable the setup, either uncomment those lines or (recommended) copy that file into your home directory as .muttrc and edit that instead. The ".cfp" version also includes the compressed folder patch (i.e. gzipped folders and bzip2'ed folders are supported) and a second patch to Muttrc to enable compressed folder support. Both binary RPMs include an entry for wmconfig (i.e. mutt should show up in your window manager menu, if you're using a wmconfig aware setup - ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ e.g. the window managers that come with Red Hat 5.2 or the Window Maker 0.52.0 RPMs Jim, Jeffrey and myself published a while ago). In addition, the RPMs contain a small shell script called "cmutt" which gets installed in /usr/bin. All it does is setting the TERM variable to xterm-color (if necessary) before calling mutt. ncurses is a bit picky about TERM and mightn't display colours in an ordinary rxvt or xterm otherwise. Note that both binary RPMs can be built from the same SRPM! I've attached the RPM description and the RPM.README file for more information. Be sure to read all documentation in /usr/doc/mutt-1.0pre1i... :-) Have fun, Thomas P.S.: Still wanted: Folks to build RPMs for other distros! I *might* actually get a chance to build RHL 6.0/i386, too, but no promises... :-/ -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas Ribbrock http://www.bigfoot.com/~kaytan ICQ#: 15839919 "You have to live on the edge of reality - to make your dreams come true!"
_______________________ |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-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. ____________________ |O| Disclaimer |X| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ No warranties, even the implied ones, not valid where probited by law, your mileage may vary, don't take candy from strangers, read the NEWS file, etc., etc. -- Thomas Ribbrock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
