There are quite a few patches on savannah or the mailing lists which have never been applied. Given that people went to the effort of creating these it is silly for them to go to waste. Over the past year or so, installing nmh for me has meant checking the source out of CVS, applying a couple of patches and building it myself.
So following is a rundown of the patches. It would be good to hear any comments or objections and at the end, I'm happy to go through and apply any patches which we're happy with. Patch 3468 - remove quotes from comments http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2003-12/msg00030.html http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?func=detailitem&item_id=3468 I've been using this patch since it was posted and it works well. So I'd like it to be committed. Bug 11142 - POP3 inc chokes on very long lines http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2002-11/msg00054.html http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=11142 I don't see a problem with this patch though I haven't looked at it in any detail or tried to apply it against 1.1. Whether or not such messages are conforming, it would be better if nmh handled them. Patch 2683/Bug 7868 - AFS patch http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?func=detailitem&item_id=2683 Don't see any problem with this myself Patch 1155 - Speed up flist http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?func=detailitem&item_id=1155 Makes sense but it would probably be faster still to test isdigit on each character in a for loop instead of using a regex. Patch 2930 - Allow @domain.com Address Masquerading http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?func=detailitem&item_id=2930 No idea if this is useful or not Patch 758 http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?func=detailitem&item_id=758 Though I agree that there is a need here, I think it is unwise to make the order significant in mh_profile/mhn.defaults files. So I'd prefer some alternative way to specify the ordering. Debian patches 1 & 3 : man page links/sections; Debian specific, I think 2 : sasl include file locations. Also applicable to at least SuSE. 4 (261592) : looks like something we should apply 5 (238456) : hard linking of install-sh. Is it needed in libdir? 6 (143485) : "#define vfork fork" on linux. Should be harmless enough debian/nmh.bash_completions file : could we take this and put it in docs/COMPLETION-BASH Josh Bressers recent patches I don't see a problem with any of these but if Josh wants, it'd be better to give him CVS access than for someone else to commit the changes.
