Description djcb 2020-04-13 10:35:24 UTC
Description of problem:

Fedora32 provides maildir-utils 1.3.9 (1.20200229git17f38dc), which is a development release, and picked a very unlucky commit.

The mu4e component (emacs mail client) of this very commit has the problem that replying to messages triggers an elisp backtrace, see:
   https://github.com/djcb/mu/issues/1536#issuecomment-605701728

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

1.3.9 (1.20200229git17f38dc)

How reproducible:

Reply to a message

Actual results:

Elisp backtrace; see linked report.

Expected results:

Reply to a message

Additional info:

(note: I am the mu/mu4e maintainer and Fedora user, "mu" is the upstream name for "maildir utils")

If Fedora really wants to ship a development version (rather than the released 1.2), I'd recommend picking the very latest (1.3.10, 70d1c05ecfc30 at this point), which has fixes for the above problem (and a bunch of others).

I must stress that the current version is unusable (email client that errors out on replying to messages!), so hope this can be fixed for F32 still.

Comment 1 Jani Juhani Sinervo 2020-04-22 09:14:35 UTC
Right. I suppose that at this point it would make sense to go straight to 1.4.1.

I chose this specific commit because it fixed the Guile bindings not getting built. But that was always a bit of a stopgap measure on my part. So now we can get back to using regular releases instead of development tags, I hope.
