This is my mutt build cocktail status file. Don't expect much, but it might give you some clues :-) Wed Feb 27 08:05:55 EST 2002 - Created status file Wed Feb 27 08:09:18 EST 2002 - I had gone to rebuild 1.3.27 with new pgp patches but also included DGC's attach patch bugfixed for .23 -- which does not patch cleanly. Ah, well. Wed Mar 13 09:44:49 EST 2002 - 1.3.28 released; begging feature patch maintainers for updates Mon Mar 18 15:33:58 EST 2002 - I finally have 1.3.28 built. Everything except ats.mark_old works, or at least compiles. Now to test with it... Wed Mar 20 11:43:30 EST 2002 - whoops; including Cedric's patch-1.3.28.cd.pattern_broken.1 causes my send-hooks to not fire; From: is not set and $editor is not unset in at least two cases. It ain't just that patch, either, 'cuz they work fine when this patch is applied alone to bare source. *sigh* - so it looks like it's down to one of dgc's patches. i think it might be isalias but i am not sure. actually, i think it is MORE THAN one of the patches; i believe trying attach and pattern_broken was fine - hokay, that's it. dgc.isalias, dgc.attach, and cd.pattern_broken all combine to cause a problem with send-hook and my_hdr. rebuilding the clean tree without pattern_broken until this is resolved Thu Mar 21 11:58:20 EST 2002 - yahoo; cedric has given me a tweaked version of pattern_broken that works just fine. new Clean builds built. - there's still that annoying recipient-as-default-subject bug that i have track down; it appears to be in the patch2 set. maybe later... Thu Mar 21 12:35:14 EST 2002 - yeah, it seems to be in patch-1.3.23.bj.my_hdr_subject.1 so let's see if I can track down byrial for an updated version... Fri Mar 22 15:25:09 EST 2002 - nothing from byrial, so i will just take it out for now. too bad. Thu Apr 4 09:16:14 EST 2002 - I have noticed problems with mutt's memory footprint on a large folder and have been tracking it. The problem looks to be in patch2; could it be Byrial's hash_destroy patch, perhaps? Checking (but it takes a couple of days for the problem to manifest itself... Fri Apr 5 08:03:54 EST 2002 - Well, it appears to be bj.hash_destroy, all right. running a fully patched version without that is actually consistently SMALLER than the stock version and certainly smaller than the other increasing-levels cocktail versions... Maybe Byrial can provide some input (haven't heard from him in a long time, though) Fri Apr 12 13:09:45 EDT 2002 - hmmm... my =F.mutt process had a res size of only 12M but had a virtual size of 150M! what gives? - no update from Byrial after his mutt-users post providing a patch patch and promising to update his web site -- but he hasn't. applied the fix and recompiled (Clean/*-patched-with-hash_destroy-fix*) and now running with that one. Tue May 14 07:40:05 EDT 2002 - 1.3.99 builds cleanly, and i have added DGC's fmtpipe patch to allow fcc-save-hook . "$HOME/.mutt/fcc-save-pipe.sh %O |" to handle tmda addresses (and anything else). stay tuned for a full build set. Thu May 30 13:48:14 EDT 2002 - whipping up 1.4 Clean set; yahooie! Mon Jul 22 04:59:05 EST 2002 - so now I'm on a freebsd server and have had to rebuild everything. it works; yay. oh, yeah; this update is three weeks late :-) - interesting that the freebsd regexp library does not like set alternates="(pattern|)..." but requires set alternates="(pattern)?..." for any expression (send-hook, folder-hook, fcc-save-hook, alternates, and so on). lots of muttrc rewriting; phooey.
