Request: adding alpine to extra
 

Hi,

I would like to add alpine to the extra repo where it will replace pine
which is no longer being developped. Reference: FS#9040.


Any objections?

+2, the second for encouragement!

Can we leave pine there too for a little while until people have had a
chance to transition?

I don't see the need: pine is no longer being developped, so there will
be no updates. People who already have it installed will need a
transition, people who don't will immediately start with alpine. A
package in the repository is no longer needed.

If it would be better, I could add alpine to testing first with the
replace line in and keep pine in extra. And after 1-2 weeks , move alpine
to extra and remove pine. That might ease up the transition but I agree
with Thomas here.

I agree with you two as well. pine users should know what they're
doing anyway, so a transition shouldn't be hard

Should alpine go straight in extra or in testing first?

I'd say let's just drop it in testing for a short stint. I'll use a
guy in our office as a test case upgrade.
