Mutt RPM Team - mutt 1.3.x BETA RPMs

General Description of All RPMs (Mutt 1.3.x BETA)

On these pages, the Mutt RPM Team publishes RPMs of the mutt 1.3.x Public Beta Releases, i.e. only those Beta Releases that get announced on the mutt-user mailing list.

Mutt 1.3.27i was released on January 22, 2002. This is the latest public BETA release of the development branch of mutt.

These RPMs on this page are BETA and are not guaranteed to work! Use at your own risk! Feedback welcome!
However, we're using them ourselves, and so far, it doesn't look too bad... ;-)

For "released" RPMs, please go to our Main Site!

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.

mutt-1.3.26i-0.1.cfp.rhl6.src.rpm

libiconv-1.7-0.1.rhl5.src.rpm

Needed on some platforms with old or non-existing iconv functions. Currently not supported as such by the team, but you might be able to use this SRPM as a start.

IMPORTANT NOTES!:

1. 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!
2. We are not supporting Red Hat Linux 5.x anymore - mutt-1.3.22.1 had build problems on RHL 5.x and the demand seems to be negligible (see our Mutt User Poll). If you would like to see RHL 5.x support continued and are willing to take over this part, please drop Thomas a note!
