Where do you get the idea that pine has a mbox or maildir USE flag? It |
| 31 |
doesn't: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
nick@www ~/Brother/UK-ENG $ emerge -pv pine |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
These are the packages that I would merge, in order: |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Calculating dependencies ...done! |

[ebuild N ] mail-client/pine-4.63-r2 -debug -kerberos |

However pine does have maildir built in, If you look at the ebuild (or |
| 45 |
read as it flashes past the screen) you will see: |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
maildir_warn() { |

einfo "This build of Pine has Maildir support built in as" |

einfo "If you have a maildir at ~/Maildir it will be your" |
| 53 |
einfo "default INBOX. The path may be changed with the" |
| 54 |
einfo "\"maildir-location\" setting in Pine." |
| 55 |
einfo |

einfo "To use /var/spool/mail INBOX again, set" |
| 57 |
einfo "\"disable-these-drivers=md\" in your .pinerc file." |
