With sidebar USE-flag and “sidebar-neomutt.patch” (mutt-1.6.0-gentoo-patches-r3.tar.xz) patch applied, the sidebar stuff isn’t compiled. Therefore command “mutt -v” still shows “-USE_SIDEBAR”. Specifying “$(use_enable sidebar)” additionally for ${myconf} variable in src_configure() function in mutt-1.6.0.ebuild solves the above issue. But I’m not a developer and therefore not very familar with writing customized ebuilds, so I don’t know if this is the right way to go. BTW the link “http://www.mutt.org/doc/devel/manual.html” to Mutts manual page used in sed replacement part (src_install() function) should be “http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/”, because the former is dead since upstream tagged Mutt 1.6.0 as stable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="sidebar" emerge mail-client/mutt-1.6.0 2. 3. Actual Results: 1. command: mutt -v shows -USE_SIDEBAR Expected Results: 1. command: mutt -v shows +USE_SIDEBAR
Yes, I can confirm this is the correct solution. The patch from neomut adds --enable-sidebar option to configure, while the old patch did not require it.
a neomutt sidebar patch allows only building. However, it does not fix runtime. oleg@oleg2 ~ $ mutt Error in .mutt/sidebar, line 5: sidebar_width: unknown variable Error in .mutt/sidebar, line 6: sidebar_visible: unknown variable Error in .mutt/sidebar, line 7: sidebar_delim: unknown variable Error in .mutt/sidebar, line 8: sidebar_new: no such object Error in .mutt/sidebar, line 10: sidebar-prev: no such function in map Error in .mutt/sidebar, line 11: sidebar-next: no such function in map Error in .mutt/sidebar, line 12: sidebar-open: no such function in map Error in .mutt/sidebar, line 13: sidebar-prev: no such function in map Error in .mutt/sidebar, line 14: sidebar-next: no such function in map Error in .mutt/sidebar, line 15: sidebar-open: no such function in map Error in /home/oleg/.muttrc, line 29: source: errors in .mutt/sidebar source: errors in /home/oleg/.muttrc Press any key to continue... mutt-1.5.24-r2 does not exhibit such behavior. mutt-1.6.0 changelog does not mention sidebar changes (at least explicitly). I propose use mask sidebar for >=mutt-1.6.0 for time being.
Created attachment 430016 [details, diff] ebuild patch for compiling Mutt 1.6.0 with NeoMutt sidebar patch
Comment on attachment 430016 [details, diff] ebuild patch for compiling Mutt 1.6.0 with NeoMutt sidebar patch First, thank you Ladislav (comment 1) to substantiate my guess, Mutt 1.6.0 with neomutt sidebar patch works now for me. What has to be done was: 1.) building a local overlay a.) copy mutt-1.6.0.ebuild and also files directory to overlay b.) apply attached ebuild patch c.) generate/rebuild the overlay Manifest with: “ebuild mutt-1.6.0.ebuild manifest” 2.) compiling local overlay a.) with: “USE="sidebar" emerge \=mail-client/mutt-1.6.0” 3.) comparing config changes a.) from: <https://www.neomutt.org/sidebar-intro.html#intro-sidebar-config-changes> b.) modifying personal affected config But for sure, I agree with you Oleg (comment 2), this is not what an average user expected. So my vote goes also to masking sidebar. Thanks for comments.
Hmmm, bad testing on my part. I don't like the options changed. I'll look into an official sidebar release instead, if there will be any.
Ok, in 1.6.0-r1 this should be enabled now with USE=sidebar. Thanks!
