Description lkadoshxxx 2010-10-25 16:43:43 UTC

Dear Sirs:

Version "12.5" of mailx contains several bug fixes (see ChangeLog below) which still affect the versions used by Fedora. 12.5 is available only through cvs. In fact, the author has indicated that compiling against cvs is the only means of getting new features:

Yep, the upstream provides stable releases in CVS only. 8-/

Are there any reason to update in F-13 as well?
