Re: Pine for Debian
I _THINK_ the reason it isn't available is because of the license it is
distributed under (in that it is not as open or as free as the GPL). It
may be able to go under another section like non-free, but I don't know
enough about the licensing issues to be able to give you a definitive
answer.
That being said, I have compiled PINE for both an Intel and PPC machines
both running 3.0 and manually installed the binaries in the appropriate
places. There are ~6 files totals, ~4 binaries and 2 config files. The
documentation is your friend :)
