Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
ever since Thunderbird-1.5.0.7 came out I've been waiting for the binary |
4 |
package (thunderbird-bin) to find its way to portage. |
5 |
|
6 |
See, after building Thunderbird-1.5.0.5 from source I had problems |
7 |
getting the Enigmail plugin to work properly. Someone obviously came up |
8 |
with the idea to put the Enigmail PLUGIN into portage and create a |
9 |
dependency between both packages. To me it means I have to rely on |
10 |
what's in portage again. Alright, no big deal. |
11 |
|
12 |
If I remember correctly the Enigmail plugin was not shown in the plugin |
13 |
list in Thunderbird. OK, no big deal again. Configuring would be done |
14 |
via menu. |
15 |
|
16 |
Not getting the plugin to work properly... is a big deal! I can't read |
17 |
certain encrypted messages anymore, which is unacceptable. I think some |
18 |
more testing is needed before such solutions go stable. Anyway, |
19 |
unmerging both packages, emerging thunderbird-bin instead, and |
20 |
installing the plugin manually works just fine. I would like to keep it |
21 |
that way, but the lack of new thunderbird-bin versions is just not |
22 |
satisfying. |
23 |
|
24 |
So, my questions would be: |
25 |
- When do new thunderbird-bin versions arrive? OR |
26 |
- How can I help creating an appropriate ebuild for that package? Is |
27 |
there some howto? Maybe the necessary changes are just marginal. OR |
28 |
- What was my mistake with the Thunderbird from source story? |
29 |
|
30 |
Any help would be appreciated. |
31 |
|
32 |
Cheers, |
33 |
Sigi |
