Description Gilbert Sebenste 2007-12-21 16:48:32 UTC

Description of problem: Alpine pine.conf file is hidden somewhere; it should be
either /etc/pine.conf or /usr/local/etc/pine.conf. It is neither and there is no
way to find out where the file is that it is actually using.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.00


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Alpine 1.00 uses a default pine.conf that is empty. But where it lies
(the one that it uses), is one of life's greatest mysteries. :-)
2.
3.
  
Actual results: Default pine.conf leaves configurations blank,
so I can't print, point at nntp server, etc.


Expected results: I should be able to do this.


Additional info: Where, or where has my pine.conf gone, oh where, oh where can
it be?

Comment 1 Gilbert Sebenste 2007-12-21 16:56:05 UTC

Aha! Figured it out. Duh...when I type pine -conf, it says it is in /usr/lib.
But when I go there, I don't see a file. But when I soft-link pine.conf in  my
/usr/local/etc file to /usr/lib, bingo! All is well. So we either need:

1. A default pine.conf in /usr/lib, or
2. We need to point pine to look in /usr/local/etc, or /etc for it.

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2007-12-21 17:03:00 UTC

/etc/pine.conf 
should work (it does for me, last time I tried).

I'll go confirm using this build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=28862

/etc/pine.conf seems to work, but /etc/pine.conf.fixed doesn't.

I'll keep digging.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2007-12-21 17:06:57 UTC

confirmed, fix coming right up.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2007-12-21 17:15:03 UTC

btw, %_sysconfdir = /etc

Comment 5 Gilbert Sebenste 2007-12-21 17:41:20 UTC

Yes, but I had a pine.conf in my /etc directory, and it still didn't
pick it up. Oh well.

OK, downloaded and installed it. Yep, fixed. +1 to updates and I'll close this 
ticket.
