There is now a fork (or maybe non-UW continuation) of alpine here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/re-alpine/ You can read the email thread about it here: http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/pipermail/alpine-info/2009-June/002267.html It is not clear whether it will remain integrated with UW-IMAP. For example, Mark Crispin suggests basing off UW imap-2007e: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=alpine.OSX.2.00.0906090803090.195%40hsinghsing.panda.com&forum_name=re-alpine-bugs So far there are no real differences between alpine and re-alpine, but I've subscribed to the mailing lists. Thanks, I've subscribed too, and mailed offering help (what help I can anyway). Here's some current detail: On 12/17/09 [17 Dec] 10:58 PM, Max Spevack wrote: > > Curious if either of you have looked at this at all. > > > > http://sourceforge.net/projects/re-alpine/ > > > > Joshua -- I know you're up at University of > Washington, but I didn't think (and as far as I can tell > from the internet I'm right) that you were part of the > "official" Alpine team.

That's correct, which thankfully means I'm still employed! In this thread re-alpine project lead Andraž 'ruskie' Levstik says: "I have received information from Steve Hubert that they don't plan on doing much anymore so I don't really see a point in renaming. Infact re-alpine is just alpine but on a community base." http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=alpine.LSU.2.00.0911271047060.19597%40obet.zrqbmnf.qr&forum_name=re-alpine-devel Internally alpine is still available but I think on the same basis as generic OSS like coreutils or MySQL. > > Does re-alpine actually have any traction?

I suppose it's time to rebase rawhide to > re-alpine soonish (which may require a pkg re-review). That's a good question. It's the same license (ASL2.0) and there have been only minor patches so far, but there was talk of a release including GPGME and Kwallet support. The re-alpine folks are also aware of the licensing issues of older pine patches and will not include them which was my biggest concern. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2805218&group_id=264924&atid=1128051 I say we just change the upstream URL and release alpine-2.1 or whatever when it's available. OK, I think it's about time we did something. :) I'm working to import re-alpine-2.02 into alpine/master branch in git. OK, imported into rawhide, any objections to trying to get this into F-14 ? (and if anyone could review the openssl patch, I'm not sure if I should touch the second part of that hunk in the code too... looks wrong to me as-is. And, get that all upstreamed of course) Oh, and I've been testing and using it on my f13 box happily since yesterday too. :) alpine-2.02-1.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/alpine-2.02-1.fc14 alpine-2.02-1.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update alpine'. You can provide feedback for this update here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/alpine-2.02-1.fc14 alpine-2.02-1.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 stable repository.
