dgc: Mutt: Obsolete patches
Kerberos patches
Mutt has had some problems configuring itself for Kerberos (--with-gss). Here are some fixes.
  • mutt-1.1.9.dgc.krbcnf.1 [ OpenPGP Signature ]
    Patches configure.in to search for Kerberos 5/GSSAPI libraries differently. The old approach would fail if libraries were compiled statically rather than shared.

    (This doesn't address another GSSAPI problem: both Kerberos 5 v1.0.x and OpenSSL have libcrypto libraries. This makes it difficult to link in support for both GSSAPI authentication and for SSL transport. I've solved this problem by extracting all modules from each libcrypto.a, and archiving them all as a single, large libcrypto.a. I'm told that Kerberos 5 v1.1 resolves this (on their part) by renaming their libcrypto.a to libkrb5_crypto.a. OpenSSL would be well-advised to follow suit.

  • mutt-1.1.11.dgc.krb5.1 [ OpenPGP Signature ]
    mutt-1.1.12.dgc.krb5.2 [ OpenPGP Signature ]
    Mutt-1.1.11 removed support for MIT Kerberos V releases prior to 1.1 (or 1.1.1?). This patch puts it back without affecting "new" MIT or Heimdal Kerberos, which were added with 1.1.11. This patch is still required (and still applies) for Mutt 1.2. The error is fixed in the Mutt 1.3 series, and should be in 1.2.1 if it is released.
Custom message-tagging
I like my mailing list mail to have a tag identifying messages as mailing-list messages. Some MLMs do this automatically by putting the list name in brackets on the subject header, but some don't. Anyway, I'd rather that the message have this property independently of the subject. It gives the mailer a lot more control.

These patches implement message labelling to meet that wish. The labels also can be used to mark messages according to interest or disposition.
