4 A new version of `Mutt with NNTP support`__ is available. This version only
5 moves Mutt with NNTP support to a separate package in the hopes of having
6 a smoother interaction with the distribution packages (avoiding automatic
7 updates with less hassle). Now a new ``mutt-nntp`` package is generated.

11 If you have Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) and amd64 or i386 arch, just download__ and
12 install the provided packages.

16 For other setups, here are the quick (copy&paste) instructions::
20 url=http://www.llucax.com.ar.nyud.net/proj/mutt-nntp-debian/files/latest
21 wget $url/mutt_$deb_ver.dsc $url/mutt_$deb_ver.diff.gz \
22 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mutt/mutt_$ver.orig.tar.gz
23 sudo apt-get build-dep mutt
24 dpkg-source -x mutt_$deb_ver.dsc
26 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
27 # install any missing packages reported by dpkg-buildpackage and try again
29 sudo dpkg -i mutt-nntp_${deb_ver}_*.deb
31 Now you can enjoy reading your favourite newsgroups and your favourite mailing
32 lists via Gmane__ with Mutt__ without leaving the beauty of your packaging
33 system. No need to thank me, I'm glad to be helpful (but if you want to make
34 a donation, just let me know ;).

41 You should always install the same ``mutt`` version as the one the
42 ``mutt-nntp`` is based on (i.e. the version number without the ``nntpX``
43 suffix, for example if mutt-nntp version is 1.5.21-5nntp1, your mutt
44 version should be 1.5.21-5). I'm not forcing that in the dependencies
45 because in general it shouldn't be a big issue using an older version. You
46 could also install the generated/provided mutt package, but that might be
47 problematic when upgrading your distribution.
49 See the `project page`__ for more details.
