Description Small_Penguin 2010-05-18 19:06:16 UTC
While the project has been canceled in favor of lightning and will not be developed officially, it would still be great to have the latest version in portage. I haven't found another nice-looking calendar application (except korganizer, and this one draws in many kde dependencies).

Unfortunately, my skills regarding complicated mozilla ebuilds are not very sophisticated, so maybe the original author could update the existing one?


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
Current ebuild installs 0.9.

Expected Results:  
New ebuild that installs 1.0 beta1.

Thanks for the version bump notice. Assigning to maintainer

This bump will not happen, we are gonna mask for 30 day removal.

Is there any specific reason to remove Sunbird from the repository?  As long as it works and maintenance is not a big hassle, there should be no reason to remove it.  Is there a sane migration path to another calendar application (including all reminders)?  No, I am not using Thunderbird.

Upstream has abandoned the product in favour of lightning, which is available as a USE-flag on thunderbird. You can migrate from sunbird to thunderbird[lightning] using this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Migrating_from_Sunbird_to_Lightning . I'm not sure how effective that is.
