Hi,
I would like to add alpine to the extra repo where it will replace pine which is no longer being developped. Reference: FS#9040.
+2, the second for encouragement!
Can we leave pine there too for a little while until people have had a chance to transition?
I don't see the need: pine is no longer being developped, so there will be no updates. People who already have it installed will need a transition, people who don't will immediately start with alpine. A package in the repository is no longer needed.
If it would be better, I could add alpine to testing first with the replace line in and keep pine in extra. And after 1-2 weeks , move alpine to extra and remove pine. That might ease up the transition but I agree with Thomas here. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
