Description Markus Robert Keßler 2026-01-04 15:10:54 CET
Dear packagers,

GNU project has a set of tools to, for instance, backup emails from imap servers.
This program is called 'movemail' and is part of

GNU Mailutils

The source of the most recent tgz is available under 'source rpm', see above.
Several other distros have it already, so the needed spec file can be taken from there.

Could you please include this package in the repo?

Thanks!

Thank you Markus for the suggestion. Too late for Mageia 9. We are extremely busy with Mageia 10; but if your idea is taken up, M10 would be a good moment.

Assigning globally in case any packager wants to do this.

Hi Lewis, I hope that from srpm it can be built for MGA9 aswell then?
Thanks, best regards,
Markus

Please stop personal mailing
If you not see response here, nobody is doing or in the best case,
somebody is working on it but have some issue
Comment 4 Markus Robert Keßler 2026-01-22 15:22:09 CET
For those who don't want to wait, here is a working approach based on newest release:

https://www.dipl-ing-kessler.de/developer/test/linux-src/mageia9/gnu-mailutils/gnu-mailutils-3.21-2.x86_64.rpm

All dependencies are in mageia repo already, so, the easiest way to install after download is like this:

urpmi gnu-mailutils-3.21-2.x86_64.rpm
