Mutt developer resources

Bug tracking system

This trac exists mostly for its bug tracking database: report:3

To add new tickets or comment on tickets, you must be logged in (this is to protect the database from spam). You can register immediately using the link on the menu bar. Note that bug entries are forwarded to the mutt developer's list, making the email address you register with semi-public.

When reporting new tickets, please make sure that

  • you find a short but meaningful summary
  • describe a procedure for others to reproduce the problem (if possible)
  • select properties carefully, especially the priority, component and type fields
  • add "patch" to the keywords field when you have a proposed solution

See DebugTips for things to do to help diagnose a bug so that we can fix it faster.

Documentation

Browse the  manual for the development version, updated nightly.

Code

The source code is maintained in a  Mercurial repository  here. You can pull your own copy for hacking with 

hg clone http://dev.mutt.org/hg/mutt

Because of a slight bug in the CVS import process (the default branch is called "HEAD" instead of "default"), you may have to use another command to get the latest version into your working directory after the clone: 

hg update -C HEAD

Afterwards, hg pull -u should keep you up to date.
