coverup Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 (edited) Does anybody know, why are pine and pico rpms no longer included in Mandrake? According to rpmfind.net, for the last time they made appearance in Mandrake 8.2. I can of course download a tarball from their website, but am just curious...

Ixthusdan Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 (edited) I found the latest pine at the plf download sight, under i586. It's linked in our download section at the top of the page. ftp://mandrake-forum.org/pub/PLF/mandrake/10.0/i586/ Edited April 12, 2004 by Ixthusdan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted April 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Thanks, got it (the 9.2 version)... BTW, it gives me a warning: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID caba22ae Does this mean that the package could be tampered with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 No, the package is fine. I get those from new Mandrake packaged off of cooker sometimes. As long as you trust the source, you're fine. I would trust plf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted April 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Ok, no worries then. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Anyway, the reason pine is not included I think has something to do with pine not being free software (as in FLOSS or GPL compatible). RedHat dropped pine first before mandrake. Of course there will be unofficial pine rpms floating around somewhere, but never in the official or the iso. Anyway, if all you need is pico, why don't you try nano? It's basically a pico clone, only open source. You can download it in any mandrake contrib mirror. ftp://mandrake.redbox.cz/Mandrake-devel/c...1-1mdk.i586.rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted April 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 I have nano installed. Believe it or not, for me it does an amusing thing. When nano is run remotedly (via ssh), sometimes backspace strokes become DEL (with a good probability, it's every 8th stroke!)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
