maintenance of enigmail package for debian mozilla (mozilla-engimail) suspended.

Sorry for any inconvenience, but until seamonkey ships into port debian, I won’t provide an enigmail package for mozilla-suite anymore.

So here the rational for this step:

Mozilla upstream is dead … e.g. mozilla foundation does not release updates for the Mozilla suite anymore. Thus, maintaining mozilla-enigmail is suspended for now. In fact mozilla 1.7.x will be removed from debian before release of etch.

So I suggest that now its a good time to switch to thunderbird and firefox for the time being.

To get thunderbird and enigmail an

CODE:

apt-get install thunderbird enigmail

would suffice.

Anyway, maybe you like to hear that there might be a package for seamonkey [1] at some point in the not so far future [2].

Sorry for any inconvenience .
