Fedora and RH 9. Otherwise I suppose I could produce an RPM.
You should read the FC release notes. Pine has been rm'd due to licensing issues.
Having said that Mike Harris has a set of pine rpms that will work with Fedora.
As I understand things though, the license that the UW programs are released under
does not allow you to modify the programs and redistribute them.
And for whoever is maintaining the imapd RPM, this same patch
(applied to
the c-client) will also enable better IPv6 logging for the imapd and ipopd
servers, and fix an SSL/IPv6 compatibility problem.
IIRC uw-imapd is also depreciated and likely to be dropped in a future release
due to the same licensing issues.
