[CentOS] Centos 8 install of squirrelmail

[Thomas Stephen Lee]

Hi,

You can rebuild the RPM on a CentOS 8 box from

https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/SRPMS/Packages/s/squirrelmail-1.4.23-1.el7.20190710.src.rpm
or
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/31/Everything/source/tree/Packages/s/squirrelmail-1.4.23-2.fc31.20190710.src.rpm

and install the resulting RPM.


For the source

https://sourceforge.net/p/squirrelmail/code/HEAD/tree/

the last commit was 6 days ago.

you can use

https://sourceforge.net/p/squirrelmail/code/HEAD/tree/branches/SM-1_4-STABLE/squirrelmail/contrib/RPM/squirrelmail.spec

if you are interested in hacking, as the default configuration is different
from CentOS.

thanks
