T-PROT PATCHES ============== These t-prot patches still did not make it into vanilla t-prot, mostly for one of these reasons: They decrease performance, accuracy, flexibility, reliability or are a real burden to maintain. Still, there might be a chance to have them included into vanilla t-prot: You can send an email to the author and ask him to include this or that specific patch because you *need* it. Remember, filtering is a trade-off. If *many* people need a specific patch, odds are high for it to be included into vanilla t-prot, even though there are some drawbacks with it. If you keep silent, the patch will be dropped at some time, because noone seems to need it. Some patches exist because they bring *big* changes and need some more testing. So if you use these patches, please send an email to the author, and give some feedback on how well the patch works. It will be most helpful to decide if some specific feature makes it into vanilla t-prot. PERMANENT PATCHES ================= These patches are updated as need be, as several distributions (that is, their t-prot package maintainers) use them to adapt t-prot to the distribution's environment. They will _not_ get dropped just because nobody bugs me. :) Users: Please note that these patches will most likely be applied by the t-prot package maintainer(s) of your distribution (if the distribution makes use of said Slang, mutt and gnupg versions). t-prot-*-gol.diff ================= Getopt::Mixed is abandoned and marked deprecated by its author, and many distributions would like nothing better than to get rid of it. Using this patch, you can make t-prot use Getopt::Long (which comes bundled with standard perl). If you know how to deal with the serious performance impacts Getopt::Long brings along, please drop me an email. Thanks. t-prot-*-mutt15*.diff and t-prot-*-gpg1*.diff ============================================= You want to be on the bleeding edge, using a developer version of mutt? Your distribution provides just an outdated version of gnupg? No problem, these patches add the locales needed for them to work smoothly. Please send a bug report if there are some great new features in the new mutt or gnupg which break anything inside t-prot. t-prot.sl-slang2.diff ===================== Patch by Gregor Herrmann, making t-prot.sl run with Slang-2. RECENT PATCHES ============== none OBSOLETE PATCHES ================ t-prot-*-adjtz.diff =================== This patch has been dropped. Noone seems to make use of it, and it depends on an external program (GNU date) that may not be available everywhere. Running this program and loading another additional Perl Module also decreases performance. t-prot-*-debug.diff =================== This patch is no longer available -- it seems most users find it too hard to apply it and include the resulting debug output to their bug report. Thanks to everyone who sent bug reports or gave feedback. t-prot-*-deb.unstable.diff ========================== This patch is no longer available. Please use t-prot-*-mutt15*.diff (or any newer replacements) for this purpose. Ah yes, and thanks to the authors of the mutt and gnupg po files for providing enough work and inconsistencies for me never to get bored. t-prot-*-ftr.diff ================= This patch is no longer available -- starting with v1.12 it is merged into vanilla t-prot. Thanks to everyone who sent bug reports or gave feedback. t-prot-*-gol.diff (first version) ================================= This patch is no longer available. The feedback to Debian Bug #193937 came only from two people: the Debian package maintainer, and the original poster of the bug report. The opinion of both of them is very appreciated, but since there came no feedback from *anyone* else, I think the vast majority of users has no interest in switching to Getopt::Long. Furthermore (as stated before), I see no benefits in using Getopt::Long over Getopt::Mixed as long as the latter is working and available at CPAN. t-prot-*-indentms.diff ====================== This patch has been dropped, since noone seems to make use of it. t-prot-*-pgphack.diff ===================== This patch is no longer available -- starting with v0.90 it is merged into vanilla t-prot. Thanks to everyone who sent bug reports or gave feedback. t-prot-*-sigtrace.diff ====================== This patch has been dropped. Noone seems to use it, *and* it looks wiser to apply stripping directly to sigtrace.
