Bug 20050 – thunderbird-cvs (ebuild)

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Doug Haas 2003-04-27 10:45:42 UTC]

I hacked together an ebuild for Mozilla Thunderbird based upon the phoenix-cvs
ebuild and thought I'd contribute it.  I'm not interested in maintaining it but
I was hoping to get the ball rolling.

thunderbird-cvs.tbz2

took out enigmail support b/c it wasn't compiling

hey dude, wake up, not on the team

[Comment 4 Henning C. Nielsen 2003-05-11 04:47:54 UTC]

Cool - Is there any reason it can't get in portage?
Seth: What do you mean??

updated thunderbird-cvs.tbz2

well, a good reason for it not to be in portage is that it doesn't really work.
 It builds and runs but with the old build there were issues with inputting
text and building with gtk2.  I changed a couple of things and took out gtk2
support and enigmail support and now it builds and runs just fine.  It's just
commented out for now because I'm assuming it'll work it's way back in
eventually.  In my experience it even plays nice with the phoenix-cvs ebuild.
** Make sure you delete your old /usr/local/portage/net-mail/thunderbird-cvs
before unpacking this one as I renamed the ebuild to more accurately match the
version number. **

the real one

uploaded the wrong file, this is the right one...

[Comment 7 Baptiste SIMON 2003-06-27 00:56:04 UTC]

The patch seems to fail... I've lost the file describing the failure when I tried remerging without patching :c)

I think the patch cannot be applied now because the cvs sources have changed too many.

New Thunderbird-CVS ebuild

This is a new ebuild based on mozilla-firebird-cvs-0.6-r2.
Works for me, no patches required!

Fixed ebuild to allow for Compose of emails

Attached new ebuild. The "--disable-composer" flag was left in. That's the only
change.

[Comment 10 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-10-04 06:46:28 UTC]

new policy: no more cvs ebuilds in official portage tree

[Comment 11 Robert Moss (RETIRED) 2003-10-13 11:35:57 UTC]

Okay, well considering that policy, and considering that anyone who wants
a Mozilla Thunderbird CVS ebuild can get it from breakmygentoo.net, shouldn't
this be closed?

[Comment 12 Robert Moss (RETIRED) 2003-10-16 19:03:45 UTC]

PLEASE CLOSE THIS BUG...

[Comment 13 Robin Johnson 2003-10-16 19:54:12 UTC]

closing as per user request.
