Bug#1919: pine - imapd not installed
Package: pine
Version: 3.91-3
The IMAP (Interactive Mail Access Protocol) server, imapd, should be
installed as /usr/sbin/in.imap2d, and added to inetd.conf by default.
It's only a few hundred Kb of binary, compared to Pine's 850Kb, so
putting it in the same package is unlikely to annoy people.
When the package is installed the manpage imapd(8) should make it
clear that it's an imap2bis server, not an imap2 server or an imap3
server, whatever those are. I see entries for imap2 and imap3 in
/etc/services; I have my locally installed Pine-based imapd configured
on imap2, which I believe to be correct, but the manpage only mentions
the imap service.
Oh, btw, the source directory should be pine-3.91 rather than pine3.91
:-).
Ian.
