by the way i noticed the pine package included many patches. here are the same patches for alpine http://staff.washington.edu/chappa/alpine/

i sent an email to the guy providing the above patches earlier. Two things may be worth noted: The regular expression patch is not needed anymore. If you find it mentioned anywhere in a patch you think is needed ignore it. Also the all.patch doesnt contain the More patches available here http://staff.washington.edu/chappa/alpine/patches/others.html , which are solving mostly solaris 10 issues. I will try to post a PKGBUILD using the all.patch later, if i get the time to configure alpine.

alpine is now in testing repo. Please report any success or problems.

i linked this FR to 2 forum posts, as i cant test this properly, at least for the time being

Hope to get someone here to test in the next day or so.

No news? Did someone tested it?

Thanks.

Sorry, I forgot to mention-- Alpine is working great for us!

i would suffest closing the FR. You already replaced pine and AFAICT the PKGB?UILD is the same as the one previously in AUR, so users have already tested this. If any problems arise anyone is free to make a BR anyway.

The PKGBUILD in AUR had enabled a configure switch wich wasn't recommanded in the docs so I disabled it. I'll keep the package in testing for another extra days just in case. When I'll move it to extra, I'll close the FR.
