#52297: mutt @1.6: make it obsolete in favor of neomutt
---------------------------------+--------------------------------

Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4
Keywords: | Port: mutt
---------------------------------+--------------------------------
A new port `neomutt` was introduced to MacPorts recently which is based on
a newer `mutt` version and contains all the patches from this port (and
more). Because the NeoMutt project is maintaining all these patches, they
don't conflict with each other and they are kept up to date so they apply
cleanly over the latest Mutt version — two problems that this port
currently have and make it very cumbersome to maintain. This port also has
issues of opportunistic linking to libraries that are not declared in the
Portfile, which has been fixed in `neomutt` as well.
It makes little sense to maintain both ports now since `neomutt` is a
strict superset of mutt and we can piggyback on the work of NeoMutt
project, so I'm proposing making `mutt` obsolete and focusing the effort
on `neomutt` instead.
