4 This is just a quick fix for `yesterday's release`__. Now ``mutt-nntp`` depends
5 on ``mutt`` >= 1.5.21-5. This should allow having ``mutt-nntp`` installed with
6 the standard distribution ``mutt`` package for both Debian__ and Ubuntu__
7 (please report any problems).

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

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

43 You should always install the same ``mutt`` version as the one the
44 ``mutt-nntp`` is based on (i.e. the version number without the ``nntpX``
45 suffix, for example if mutt-nntp version is 1.5.21-5nntp1, your mutt version
46 should be 1.5.21-5 or 1.5.21-5ubuntu2). A newer version will satisfy the
47 dependency too but it is not guaranteed to work (even when it probably will,
48 specially if the upstream version is the same). You could also install the
49 generated/provided mutt package, but that might be problematic when
50 upgrading your distribution.
