Note for mu4e users on Arch Linux

[Charles-H. Schulz]

Hello,

There was an update to the xapian library yesterday for Arch Linux (the xapian-core package) and it has rendered mu and mu4e unusable no matter what version you are using. There are currently two possible solutions out of this:

- rebuild mu against xapian by using pacaur as explained on Reddit :

pacaur -S mu --rebuild

- however for those not using pacaur like me, simply uninstall
  and reinstall (rebuild) mu from the AUR repository using any of your favourite AUR assistants like yaourt.

Hope this helps,

Charles.

Yupp, noticed this myself the other day :)

Just in case you didn't know, there's a package `mu-git` for those of us
who like living dangerously.

Yes there is however it does not seem to be that frequently updated. I use the other one or just grab the original Github package...

Best,

Charles.

As is expected of a `-git` package, you have to recompile it regularly
yourself to pull in changes from github :)
