#52267: mutt @1.6.0 make it 'vanilla' and upgrade to 1.7 ---------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: leonardo.schenkel@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Keywords: | Port: mutt ---------------------------------+-------------------------------- It's hard to maintain the mutt port today because it contains on a lot of external patches that need to be refreshed for every new version and some of these patches conflict with each other, so they can't be used together. It is much easier to rely on the work of the [https://www.neomutt.org NeoMutt] project since it maintains a number of the most popular patches cleanly applied over the latest release of Mutt. A port for it was submitted on #52264. It was then suggested on that ticket that Mutt could be changed to a 'vanilla' port which is plain upstream with no patches. I have attached a patch that does so, upgrades Mutt to the latest release version, 1.7.0 and enables the +ssl variant by default. From what I could determine all previous patches on this port are either incorporated into NeoMutt or upstream Mutt, with the exception of https://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3285. Since this patch is 7 years old and it was not adopted by either Mutt or NeoMutt, I assume that there isn't much demand for that change. In case the idea of a 'vanilla' Mutt is accepted, I volunteer to be the maintainer with this port alongside the neomutt port — but with the understanding that to keep both ports easy to maintain I will try to maintain them free of local patches and steer any patch submissions to the NeoMutt project instead, which can keep them up to date. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52267> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for macOS
