I _THINK_ the reason it isn't available is because of the license it is distributed under (in that it is not as open or as free as the GPL). It may be able to go under another section like non-free, but I don't know enough about the licensing issues to be able to give you a definitive answer.
That being said, I have compiled PINE for both an Intel and PPC machines both running 3.0 and manually installed the binaries in the appropriate places. There are ~6 files totals, ~4 binaries and 2 config files. The documentation is your friend :) cheers vinai On Sat, 22 Feb 2003, Ian Pushee wrote: > This isn't specificly a ppc-debian issue, but hopefuly someone will > have some insite...
