It would be nice to have an ebuild for the Thunderbird extension SOGO-connector, which allows the addressbook to be synchronized with a CardDAV server. I want to write the ebuild myself, but I am not sure how to package such extensions. All extensions I could find in portage are already included in Thunderbird ebuild itself (like enigmail, lightning). Is it currently possible to have a separate ebuild for extensions? Would be nice to have it modular. License: GPLv2 Reproducible: Always
Ok, I looked at Thunderbird's ebuild and think it should be no problem to create a separate ebuild for sogo-connector.
I use this plugin daily I wouldn't mind maintinging it in gentoo, It would also be nice since the built in update feature for this plugin seems to be broken...
Created attachment 384426 [details] sogo-connector-24.0.6.ebuild Attached is my first attempt to create an ebuild for sogo-connector. I still need to add the following line to ${HOME}/.thunderbird/<profile>/extensions.ini under [ExtensionDirs]: Extension3=/usr/lib64/thunderbird/extensions/{3550f703-e582-4d05-9a08-453d09bdfdc6} Also the addon is not listed in the Add-ons-Manager. Does anyone know how to register a system-wide extension properly?

I figured it out myself. Instead of using the em:id of sogo connector, I was actually using the em:id of Thunderbird itself which of course causes trouble. Now it properly shows up in addon manager.

Updated ebuilds (starting with version 31.0.0 for Thunderbird 31) can from now on be found in my sogo-connector-overlay. https://gitorious.org/sogo-connector-overlay/sogo-connector-overlay/
New Git repository location is https://gitlab.com/groups/sogo-connector-overlay
(In reply to Fabian Köster from comment #12) > New Git repository location is > https://gitlab.com/groups/sogo-connector-overlay Sorry, I moved the repository again. It is now hosted on Gentoo's own infrastructure at https://cgit.gentoo.org/repo/user/sogo-connector.git/ If you have layman you can add the overlay just by typing layman -a sogo-connector
Thank you for maintaining the overlay. It is great to be able to use sogo-connector the Gentoo way. It would be really awesome if this made it into the main tree some day.
