Ok, got it figured out.
If you don't already, add a 'source' package list line to your
/etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
As root, from a directory you don't mind building in:
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get source mutt
Get the appropriate comresseded mailbox patch, and follow directions for
applying patch, from:
http://www.spinnaker.de/mutt/compressed/
You need to create a new rules file from the old one as follows.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:debian]$ diff rules.old rules
17c17,18
< --with-pgp --with-mixmaster --with-ncurses --with-sasl
---
> --with-pgp --with-mixmaster --with-ncurses --with-sasl \
> --enable-compressed
Build and make package. Following assumes you're in the mutt source directory:
$ debian/rules build
$ debian/rules binary
If everything looks OK, install:
$ dpkg -i ../mutt<version>.deb
You might want to place this on hold so it's not overwritten on your next
upgrade:
$ echo "mutt hold" | dpkg --set-selections
Cheers.
