Hi all,
finally mozilla-thunderbird 1.5 is debianized and ready for early testing. I am currently pushing it to my experimental archive. It was build for debian sid … so don’t expect it to work in testing or sarge.
What’s noteworthy?
- mozilla-thunderbird-offline package is now fully integrated into the main thunderbird package – no need to install it explicitly anymore.
- mozilla-thunderbird-inspector is still a bit broken – looks as if upstream did not care. Maybe I can fix this … or remove it
.
- removed almost all patches. Please drop comments if you find something missing (e.g. like mailto: links from browsers or http: links from mails don’t work anymore).
What’s still missing for unstable/etch?
- Package name transition – in response to mozilla trademark policy.
- A working enigmail extension package.
- thunderbird-gnome-support package to provide full gnome integration – like mozilla-firefox.
- a good amount of testing.
- bug triage … if you want you could visit the current debian bug reports and try to reproduce them. There should be quite a bunch of bugs that don’t apply anymore – especially those tagged as ‘fixed-upstream’. If you identify such a bug, please mail a note to the bug report. For convenience … get a list of current bugs from here.
Any suggestions, problems? Feel free to drop a comment.
Have fun with this hot software!
