Bug#773151: simply uninstall mh-e

[Peter S Galbraith]

Hi all,

Given that the released MH-E v8.5 doesn't work with nmh 1.6, and that
MH-E 2 v8.6 is bundled in Emacs-24, I guess it's time for me to remove
the mh-e package from debian? This is prompted by the release of a new
"stable" Debian distribution yesterday, which unfortunately has emacs-24
(with MH-E v8.6) and a separate MH-E package with v8.5. (I should have
remove the mh-e package prior to the release.)

Peter

emacs24.4 contains mh-e 8.6
uninstalling package mh-e (wich is currently version 8.5) makes you
use the 8.6 version bundled with emacs, which fixes the problem.
isn't this silly?

Hi Peter, yeah, I've been wondering for awhile if there's still value in
having a separate package for MH-E. I know I don't really have the time
to help with maintaining it. And even if I get some cycles, I suspect
there are better ways for me to use that time, like actual MH-E
development. So I don't object to removing the separate package.

warm regards,
mike

For jessie, the next update will either need to have 8.6 or have the
package removed.

Given that we're all busy and it's only going to get worse (I'm
finishing up a release of my NASA software and will be flying on SOFIA
in Palmdale all of May and in New Zealand in July), I suspect the latter
will be more expedient.
