Description Robert Scheck 2004-08-21 21:33:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
Currently, we've got the stable branch (1.4) of mutt packaged in 
Fedora Core Development, but the unstable/development branch (1.5) 
of mutt would be better, because mutt 1.5 has more features (eg. 
IDN support - umlaut domains, interesting in Europe) and many bug 
fixes for a lot of problems and there are also patches for other 
requests (eg. gzip mailbox or nntp support or dynamically threads).

I think Fedora Core/Red Hat also should switch to mutt 1.5, because  
SuSE (Novell), Mandrake, Debian, Gentoo and others already switched 
to mutt 1.5 in there unstable trees, some of them even already in 
their official releases.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mutt-1.4.1-9

Actual results:
I'll attach a diff from a patch between 1.4.1-9 to 1.5.6-1 and the 
merged patches - and I would be happy about a change to 1.5.6.

Expected results:
Upgrade to mutt 1.5.6 (development branch).

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2004-08-23 19:08:30 UTC 
We're not going to ship a development upstream version.
Comment 4 Robert Scheck 2004-08-23 20:27:22 UTC 
Why? Could you tell me a good reason for this strance decision? 
Anaconda, Bind, Gaim, Hal, KDE, Libtheora, Ntp, Nvi-m17n, RPM, Samba, 
Spamassassin, Wordtrans, Xorg-X11 and other packages are currently as 
unstable/cvs/development or other non-released things at Rawhide 
available. Why aren't mutt development releases there available, too?!

Fedora Core Development aka Rawhide is the unstable tree of FC and 
RHEL and is known to have the latest versions of packages...
Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2004-08-23 20:47:40 UTC 
xorg, kde, etc will all be released by the time the next release ships.

theora doesn't have a stable release version...

Moreover, it's not like samba is shipping a Samba 4 HEAD, etc.
Comment 6 Robert Scheck 2007-02-10 21:52:22 UTC 
Bill, it looks like Miroslav Lichvar, the current mutt maintainer at Red Hat, 
heared my wish after years... ;-)
