Mutt RPM Team - mutt 1.2.x RPMs:
Notes & SRPMs

General Description of All RPMs (Mutt 1.2.x)

NOTE:
Mutt 1.2.5 was released on July 28, 2000. This is the latest maintenance update of the stable branch of mutt, and this time, we really suggest that you update (which is the reason we removed all previous 1.2.x releases).

This release fixes at least one grave IMAP error which may lead to confusing display and other strangeness, and our instances of the "wuftpd format bug", which had (mostly) the effect that your IMAP server's operator could break into your computer with some work.

The mutt included in these RPMs supports:

• PGP/GPG
• POP3
• IMAP

mutt is linked against ncurses. However, the SRPM provides the possibility to build an Slang version as well - please refer to the documentation.

All RPMs include two additional "wrapper" scripts for mutt:

• cmutt: Shell script to call mutt after checking and - if necessary - changing the TERM environment variable. That way, mutt uses colours even if TERM wasn't set right initially (given a colour capable terminal, of course).
• xmutt: Shell script to start mutt in a terminal window (xterm or rxvt).

All RPMs come in two flavours: With and without Roland Rosenfeld's compressed folder patch. The ones with compressed folder support have the additional extension .cfp and include a second patch to Muttrc to enable compressed folder support for folders compressed with gzip and bzip2.

Source RPMs

Note that all RPMs were build from the same SRPM, using a so-called Meta Spec File. To use this functionality and (re)build an RPM for your distro, you have to install the SRPM -- a simple rpm --rebuild is not recommended.
All RPMs can be rebuilt as ordinary user.

For more information - especially, if you're interested in rebuilding the SRPM - and for the RPM ChangeLog please refer to the RPMS.README file:
mutt-1.2.5i-1.RPMS.README

NOTE:
If you're going to rebuild the Source RPM, please be sure to read the section referring to your distribution/architecture, as you might need to upgrade libraries to successfully rebuild the SRPM!
