Hi,

just uploaded a new tbird as mentioned in the headline. It’s just a respin of the previous upload, but this time including the full sources. Thanks to Martin for pointing to this.

As always, you can install it with aptitude or apt-get with my stable (backport) apt line.

Just pushed the latest thunderbird and enigmail to my sarge backport archive. This release fixes several security issues, so upgrade ASAP.

Have a nice weekend!

As promised, I Just uploaded a new sunbird snapshot (13 Jul 2005) to my experimental archive. Use the apt lines given below to get your latest sunbird version for debian.

This snapshot looks much better than the previous. If you have any problems or questions feel free to post a comment.

Have fun!

Just pushed a new sunbird snapshot (5 Jul 2005) to my experimental archive. See my post about my current apt archives for the apt lines you need in order to install this package.

For those that installed my previous packge: you might need to delete your profile directory ($HOME/.mozilla/sunbird) in order to get sunbird in a useful state again. Other issues, like the need to create your own calendar at first are not needed anymore …

For people new to sunbird: just install and start sunbird … but remember, this is an experimental snapshot build. Your profile might get useless for the next package, so don’t depend on what is in your calendar and don’t use it for something serious.

Comments , problems, suggestions … feel free to drop a comment!

Have fun!

UPDATE: ... apparently the New Event Dialog is broken and not functional. So for the time being, you cannot add any new events. I will look out for a better snapshot and release a new version ASAP. Sorry, but as I said, don’t depend on this ... the sunbird development HEAD is still quite unstable.

Now that sarge is out, I reorganized my apt archives.

Security:
The security archive is used to upload security fixes based on the same standards as the official debian security releases. It does not introduce new upstream versions, but just backport fixes. So usually a fix for thunderbird will just upgrade your thunderbird package and not locales et al.

Stable:
The stable archive is used to upload backported packages that I maintain in sid and want to offer the latest version for sarge too. This is different compared to the security archive above in that new features are introduced and maybe a new thunderbird package upgrades all dependents too. If you want real stability use security. If you want the latest for sarge, use this one.


Testing:
I dropped support for testing. Go for unstable or wait until the latest packages migrate to the official testing distribution.

Experimental:
My archive to provide preview packages that are typically installable in sid (maybe testing works too). Usually, I add programs here that I don’t find suitable for the official debian sid or experimental distribution. So be aware that packages in here might break or harm your install. Don’t use them unless you know what you are doing.
