Created attachment 812717 [details] screenshot of bugfix attempt Description of problem: Alpine keeps creating ~/mail, regardless i had changed that in ~/.pinerc Issue probably is: cant change default as /etc/pine.conf doesnt exist. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Alpine 2.03 (LFD 1266 2009-07-14) built Wed Feb 13 20:56:29 UTC 2013 on buildvm-11.phx2.fedoraproject.org How reproducible: rm -r ~/mail alpine Steps to Reproduce: 1. delete ~/mail 2. start alpine 3. folder gets created, eventhough .pinerc's inbox-path is set to $HOME/other/path Actual results: ~/mail gets created, but should not Expected results: $HOME/other/path should be used as defined in ~/.pinerc OR -- in the MISSING (how did the rpm compile successfully???) /etc/pine.conf[.fixed] Additional info: (see screenshot i ----------------------------------- :) ~ $ alpine -conf|grep -i /pine # /etc/pine.conf -- system wide pine configuration + ~ $ alpine -conf|grep -i inbox- inbox-path= + ~ $ grep inbox- .pinerc inbox-path=$HOME/other/path + ~ $ rpm -ql alpine|grep pine.c /etc/pine.conf /etc/pine.conf.fixed ✔ ~ $ ls /etc/pin* /etc/pinforc ✔ ~ $
Hi, /etc/pine.conf and /etc/pine.conf.fixed are "ghost" files in the RPM SPEC: %ghost %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/pine.conf %ghost %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/pine.conf.fixed This means it's normal to be missing, but if there is a system defined pine.conf it won't be replaced. In any case, it sounds like you want to set both the INBOX and local mail directory paths in /etc/pine.conf which would be something like this: inbox-path=~/otherinbox mail-directory=~/mydir/ folder-collections=local ~/mydir/[], ... {IMAP etc...} Please read over the alpine docs regarding the subtle differences between each. I also recommend trying alpine-2.10 which was recently packaged for F20: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=441044 The RPM installs and works on F19 in my testing, e.g: yum localinstall alpine-2.10-3.fc20.x86_64.rpm Alternatively you can build from src (also downloadable from koji).
