alpine-pico

Simple text editor from Alpine, a text-based email client

"pico" is a simple but powerful text editor. It was originally the pine composer, the editor used by the pine email client for writing email messages. It has gained popularity since its initial use in that context and is now used as a stand-alone editor by many users. It is similar to but less powerful than GNU Nano, an editor created with the pico interface when the pico license was non-free.

alpine-dbg

Text-based email client's debugging symbols

Alpine is an upgrade of the well-known PINE email client. Its name derives from the use of the Apache License and its ties to PINE. It features a full suite of support for mail protocols like IMAP and SMTP and security protocols like TLS. It uses curses for its interface. This build stores the debugging symbols to the alpine package.
