Here are my current pine src.rpm, which should compile on any Red 
Hat Linux release cleanly, including rawhide/Fedora:

ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/pine/pine-4.58-1.src.rpm

This is a binary compiled on Red Hat Linux 8.0, which works for 
me in 8.0:

ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/pine/pine-4.58-1.i386.rpm

I will continue to unofficially maintain pine rpms in this manner 
as long as I still use pine personally most likely.  In the 
future, I might move the package into Fedora Extras or whatever 
is appropriate, or I might put up yum/apt metadata files so 
people can add my repository to their default config and get pine 
(and other software) from there.  I don't have anything set up 
yet though...
