MozillaZine reports that Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 has been released. Can a developer please add this to Portage?
Created attachment 45106 [details] mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-1.0_rc1.ebuild This is the ebuild to build Thunderbird from source, with Enigmail and IPC upgraded to their newest versions as reported by EnigMail's site (enigmail.mozdev.org). I verified the downloaded file by checking the SHA-1 hash of the source tarball against what Mozilla's FTP mirror says. (d4d0dc3943685320cfddb4e1da7901c00fe51745 ./thunderbird-1.0rc-source.tar.bz2) The tarball just finished extracting and it now seems to be running the ./configure script.
For what it's worth, it works perfectly after deleting the compreg.dat file (which seems to be a normal part of the Thunderbird-upgrading procedure). <3 Thunderbird
I can confirm that this works fine on AMD64. I didnt even have to delete compreg.dat. Is this ever going to be added to portage?
I beg to differ. 2 small things missing: 1) Doesn't get installed onto gnome menu 2) It deletes whatever icon I was using on the gnome panel (/usr/share/pixmaps/thunderbird-icon.png ? - I can find out for sure if someone needs to know) 3) It creates these 3 dirs if they don't exist, but never uses them (will be used when above issues are fixed) /usr/share /usr/share/pixmaps /usr/share/applications Cheers, Kent.
heh I use fluxbox so I cannt help you with gnome. But the icon is in /usr/share/pixmaps/thunderbird-icon.png and there is a mozillathunderbird.desktop in /usr/share/applications. Those three directories you say it creates but never uses, they were already on my system, in use and infact thunderbird uses them. Anyway you could always manualy put thunderbird into your menu.
You must have gotten the icon from somewhere else: kent@weetbix kent $ qpkg -l mozilla-thunderbird | grep png kent@weetbix kent $ qpkg -l mozilla-thunderbird | grep desktop kent@weetbix kent $ qpkg -l mozilla-thunderbird | grep /usr/share /usr/share /usr/share/pixmaps /usr/share/applications As for the dirs - they are already on my system as well - but there is potential that there won't be on others, and as you can see above, thunderbird does not "use" them. The ebuild should put a thunderbird-icon.png in as well as a .desktop file (which means that the dirs will be created if they aren't there anyway - so my first point about the potential of them not being there is utterly irrelevant). Of course you *could* add Thunderbird to the menu manually, but that is hardly the point - you could compile it manually too ;)
Well, 1.0 is out now :-)
Is this now the tracker for 1.0? Word around the campfire is that there is expected to be a bit of an uptake on this bad boy.
the file /distfiles/thunderbird-1.0rc-source.tar.bz2 in which this ebuild refers, is non-existant on the mirrors.
Compiled great on AMD64 for me.
