After updating mailutils to version 3.1.1 it complains that the legacy /etc/mailutils.rc should be renamed to /etc/mailutils.conf. That is just a warning, but very annoying, so please fix the ebuild. This most likely also affects mailutils-3.2.
this spams through cron when using mail from there
Created attachment 469554 [details, diff] mailutils-rc-conf.dif Hello, I added the following line, to rename the above. I tested it on a local overlay, and everything seemed to work fine. I even tested it with cron, as it is mentioned above, and I noticed no warnings there too.

I am surprised that the filename in files/ wasn't simply changed to match the new name. It is controlled by the maintainer, right? I'm not sure why keep it and rename in the ebuild.
so that there is no need to bump old ebuilds for the new file name. when all ebuilds in the tree install the new config, one can change the ebuilds and the file name simultaneously.
