Hello Alan,

sure I'm using the ~arch dev gcc on Gentoo, rather than stable.

Either way, both work great. :)

Yep, I haven't had any problem so I just stick with it. :)

Guess I'm just a sucker for trying the new stuff out soon after it's released. That's why I stick with rolling distributions currently, and have an interest someday to create my own Linux From Scratch or something similar.

Regards,
Nick

I'm a little uncomfortable with 0.50 because the author hasn't
released it.

That's a concern of mine as well. (Tried contacting him a
while back about that and other things, but have never received a
reply...)

I've been using v0.50 for well over a year now without any problems.

I don't doubt it but I generally prefer to use released versions for debian packaging. OHOH; it's easy enough to create patches from changes that the author made, so I'll be seeing those will take care of the build errors after being added to the debian packageing...

Do you know if there are any issues compiling it with versions
like gcc 5?

Not sure. I'm using gcc 4.8.2 on slackware atm. slackware-current is
4.9.3 so it may be a while before I get to see 5.. :)

The default gcc for Debian Testing ('stretch') has transitioned to GCC 5 (v5.2.1, currently), so I'll be seeing how that goes once I get past more of the build warnings..

I couldn't get all of the patches to apply properly, so I've created a snapshot archive from the most recent commit in the author's GIT repo and will be updating the package with that (unless he releases v0.50 soonish, in which case I'll use that...).

From what I understand from the last time I talked to him (which was quite some
time ago), he had no plans on making another release and figured that anyone who wanted to use it could "roll their own". Robert Wolfe recompiled v0.50 for
Win32/Win64. I may go ahead and hatch out Robert's recompile in my CH-WARE filebone to let people know that such a creature exists although it is available with a web search if you use the right keywords.

It's on your website. I have it here. Just have to look for it again on your website because it was in an odd place.

Actually this is incorrect. It autocreated config files if they don't exist. MultiMail always has. If they exist then they are used.

If you want the rest of the files, such as UNZIP and ZIP (if you don't want to hunt those down yourself) as well as the color config files, you do need 0.49.

What I'll do is create a full release and put it out so that way no one need be
confused. The joys of open source. :)

I've asked him about as well; we'll see what he decides.

Note that what I'm testing it with is as of 22 Sep 2015; there's only one commit that day, so the archive version number I'm currently using is for v0.50~20150922.

Life has been busy lately. I remember reading this msg but didn't reply.. Sorry.. :)

Is that like.. slackware stable or something?

Yes, slackware 14.1, it isn't really that old, a couple years but still works great.. :) I suspect the next slackware is in the oven now and we'll be seeing it soonish.

I'm on 5.2.0 on Archlinux, and 4.9.3 on Gentoo (but I'm pretty sure
I'm using the ~arch dev gcc on Gentoo, rather than stable.

Yep, everything on arch is (very) new. I have run arch in the past and liked it. Lately I keep coming back to slackware. Not sure why that is, maybe I'm getting old and crusty.. :)

Either way, both work great. :)

Yep, everything works so I just leave it as is..
