Description Sergey S. Starikoff 2009-10-08 10:25:30 UTC
www-client/mozilla-firefox has GNU rebranding USE flag 'iceweasel'.

mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird has the similiar rebranding project. But Gentoo ebuild hasn't the proper USE-falg to build rebranded version of Thunderbird.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Read the USE-flags description for mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird

Actual Results:  
See nothing like 'icedove'

Expected Results:  
See the USE-flag, switching which on makes emerge build the rebranded version of mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird

iceweasel useflag is being drop'd from firefox as I am adding icecat ebuild to tree. We will not rebrand any package of mozilla directly, if you wish to see an unbranded thunderbird with different icons, please request a project from others who share you interest and after you all make first release, we could see about adding it to the tree.

As IceCat ebuild will be added to the tree, I'll switch to the IceCat.

But there is a bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/201797 and no ebuild for IceDove?
Or nothing changed since 2007 year?
