[Package request] NeoMutt

[FreddieOliveira]

• I have read Termux policy on package requests.

Package description

NeoMutt is a fork of Mutt. It was created when Richard Russon (@flatcap) took all the old Mutt patches, sorted through them, fixed them up and documented them.

Additional information

Some patches are needed to be applied so it can execute correctly. Download the patches and execute the following steps:

git clone https://github.com/neomutt/neomutt
cd neomutt
patch autosetup/autosetup-config.guess autosetup-config.guess.patch
patch docs/config.c config.c.patch
patch mutt/file.c file.c.patch
patch autosetup/jimsh0.c jimsh0.c.patch
patch mutt_config.c mutt_config.c.patch
patch test/file/mutt_file_mkstemp_full.c mutt_file_mkstemp_full.c.patch
patch muttlib.c muttlib.c.patch
patch contrib/smime_keys smime_keys.patch
./configure --disable-gpgme --disable-idn --zstd --with-mailpath=$PREFIX/var/mail --sasl --ssl --gdbm --gss --prefix=$PREFIX
make -j8
make install

These are the libs it depends upon:

all the old Mutt patches...

Once tidied, the important thing was to merge as many as possible.
If more than one packager was using a patch, it made sense to merge it (reducing their workload).

If this Package Request is granted, then I'll happily merge the #ifdef __ANDROID__ changes.

I'll discuss the /tmp changes with the other devs.
Some other packagers have suggested similar changes, e.g. /var/tmp
No promises, but perhaps it could become a configure option.

btw, I think there are too many /s at the beginning of /data/... in config.c.patch.txt

-** used.  Failing that, then "\fC/tmp\fP" is used.

Added in 763f9eb. Soon it will be available for the installation.

Hey @flatcap, nice to see you here! When porting packages to Termux the majority of patches are fixing hardcoded paths, eg. in shebang. Instructing people to use env vars like $TMPDIR, $HOME, etc or adding a configure option for that would definitely help.

The other type of patches are disabling features not present in Android or adapting them. That's the #ifdef __ANDROID__ part.

Oops, you're right.

Happy new year, btw @flatcap @xeffyr
