Bugs http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3613 and
http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3614 bring up the question of what
the policy should be for minimum requirements of software required
to build from the mercurial repository. Note that this is
different from the set of software required to build mutt from a
snapshot or release, since the auto* tools are not required for
the latter.
For development platforms, I've been ensuring that it is possible
to build from the mercurial repository using the stock tools
included in:
* Debian Squeeze (6.0)
* RHEL/CentOS/Scientific 6.3
* Ubuntu 12.04
* Fedora 17
With the exception of the latter, all of the others are supported
for a good period of time by their vendor.
I'm not an OSX user, so I have no idea what the currently
supported developer toolchain is, so I'd appreciate feedback on
what is reasonable to support.
