From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: There are some components of the fetchmail package missing in Fedora Core 1, a.o. fetchmailconf. I've downloaded the latest version directly from ESR's page http://www.catb.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-6.2.5-1.src.rpm and the rebuild worked fine without any complains. The resulting RPM has some more files in it, including /usr/bin/fetchmailconf, a very nice tool to configure fetchmail. 'Think it should be there for everyone to use freely. I've a mailserver with postfix+spamassassin+dovecot and after downloading pop mail from another mailserver via fetchmail my evolution mail-client did not recognize anymore the (mbox) format of my IMAP account. After creating a new .fetchmailrc with fetchmailconf (on a separate machine) and upgrading to fetchmail-6.2.5-1 everything works fine 'n smoothly. Version-Release number of selected component: fetchmail-6.2.0-8 How reproducible: Always
According to the changelog it was removed because tkinter was no longer available, however tkinter does exist in the FC1 packages. (tkinter-2.2.3-7 in FC1 and 2.3.3-2.1 in devel) The fetchmailconf binary is a very useful part of the fetchmail package and its re-inclusion is requested.
Any chance of this going in for FC3?
