Similar issue, but seemingly failing at status.c. Attached is my log.

No need to CC nomaintainer@, it's not a real maintainer address. Setting priority level should be left to MacPorts management. If you have a fix for this problem, feel free to take up maintainership.

jchauvel, your issue stems from the patch-1.5.21-6.2.debian.sidebar.diff patch used in the +sidebar variant.

tristan, your issue stems from the patch-1.5.21.rr.compressed.gz patch which is used in the +compressed variant.

Unfortunately the mutt-devel port has very many variants, many of which patch the software, and these patches need to updated every time the software is updated. Sometimes new patches for each feature are not available at the time that the port is updated, so the variants will fail until such a time as new patches are released by their developers and we update the port again. Or it could be that we just forgot to check if new patches for each variant were available when we updated mutt-devel to 1.5.23 in r121993.

mutt-devel takes way too long for one of us to update to newer versions, for the aforementioned reasons. I've started and then given up on mutt-devel updates before, because it was too frustrating. It would be better if all features were in the mutt source code and could be enabled and disabled with configure arguments, like other software packages use. Or a plugin architecture could be developed. It would help us greatly if someone would open a dialog with the developers of mutt and see what can be done about this situation.

Thanks Ryan, yes compiles fine excluding the +compressed variant. Not sure why I had that in there anyway. And agreed, Mutt may be too 'customisable' for something like MacPorts without a standardised library of plugins etc. I may switch to building it outside of MacPorts.

Similar issue for me. I installed a lot of variants, but use a few... mutt-devel@1.5.21_4+compress+date_conditional+deepif+gdbm+gpgme+headercache+idn+imap+pop+sasl+sidebar+smtp+ssl+trash

Sidebar patch for 1.5.23 from upstream

Replying to jchauvel@…:

See the attached log for details.

Will attach patches for +sidebar fix on 1.5.23 (Portfile and patch-1.5.23.sidebar.20140412.txt)

These upgrade mutt-devel +sidebar from debian version of 1.5.21 sidebar patch to the main sidebar patch release for 1.5.23

Thanks, in r123973.

I'm leaving this open for the +compressed failure, since I assume that's still happening?
