Here are my current pine src.rpm, which should compile on any Red
Hat Linux release cleanly, including rawhide/Fedora:
ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/pine/pine-4.58-1.src.rpm
This is a binary compiled on Red Hat Linux 8.0, which works for
me in 8.0:
ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/pine/pine-4.58-1.i386.rpm
I will continue to unofficially maintain pine rpms in this manner
as long as I still use pine personally most likely. In the
future, I might move the package into Fedora Extras or whatever
is appropriate, or I might put up yum/apt metadata files so
people can add my repository to their default config and get pine
(and other software) from there. I don't have anything set up
yet though...
