Thanks! Done
Comment 6 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-06-20 13:50:51 UTC
x86 stable
Comment 7 Rolf Eike Beer archtester 2020-06-20 19:18:32 UTC
sparc stable
Comment 8 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-06-20 22:39:39 UTC
Hold stabilization.

@ maintainer: A regression was reported, see http://lists.mutt.org/pipermail/mutt-users/Week-of-Mon-20200615/001738.html.

Just copy mutt-1.14.4 ebuild to new revision and *continue* stabilization afterwards. No need to restart for sparc/x86.
