Hello, I'm looking for any FreeBSD ports/pkg users of mail/mutt and hoping to get some feedback on option usage and which non-standard features you're using from the port's included extra patches. This is mainly the *_PATCH options. You can find the post to the FreeBSD ports mailing here on the possible plan of what's to come for the port. At a minimum removal of the quote patch however the possible removal of all feature patches (including maildir mtime). https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-ports/2023-May/003815.html If you are a user of this port/pkg please let me know such that I can gauge the importance of this.
Last week I didn't know those patches existed. Now I've looked them over, and I won't miss them. It's fine with me if you drop those feature patches.
Generally I agree that a distribution of a program should not modify the program -- eg, the FreeBSD port of Mutt shouldn't add features to it.
