ESR will be bumped when upstream feels like it's ready to be distributed to users. This usually takes 2-3 releases to weed out bugs, so an estimate would be august/september. 91esr will be supported by upstream until that happens, and security fixes provided until then. We may offer 102esr earlier, but most likely only 91esr will be kept stabilized for now. This time there also doesn't seem to be any "critical" reason to switch, only media-libs/dav1d support is a bit eh, but it's patched in both esr and rapid. Wayland-only support is tempting, but still being worked on (e.g. no pgo support yet). Opening this bug early so everyone is aware of the status.
Same goes with Thunderbird, https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/102.0/releasenotes/ "Thunderbird version 102.0 is only offered as direct download from thunderbird.net and not as an upgrade from Thunderbird version 91 or earlier. A future release will provide updates from earlier versions." Weeding out biggest bugs etc usually takes 2-3 months (2-3 releases).
Created attachment 789146 [details] Ebuild for thunderbird-102 derived from firefox For those interested and fearless people out there: My ebuild for thunderbird-102.0. Seems to work with X and wayland on amd64.
FWIW, IMO a "critical" reason to switch is that thunderbird 102 now supports to permanently decrypt OpenPGP encrypted messages to a folder. This finally replaces the old enigmail plugin which lost support after thunderbird 68. Since 2020 I have had myself pinned at thunderbird 68, and deps like rust 1.47, firefox 78, in order to have this functionality. I will try the thunderbird-102 ebuild posted here and report problems.
Is rapid branch going to update to 102.0.1?
In between, mail-client/thunderbird has arrived @ version 102.0.3 copy & rename the ebuild : * ERROR: mail-client/thunderbird-102.0.3::mkn_local_overlay failed (install phase): * !!! newins: /var/tmp/portage/mail-client/thunderbird-102.0.3/files/distribution.ini does not exist
(In reply to Manfred Knick from comment #5) > In between, mail-client/thunderbird has arrived @ version 102.0.3 That just sounds like you forgot to copy files into your overlay. In any case, not relevant.
So here are my plans: 1: Get the new mozilla-mach.eclass into the tree. It's way easier to do when there are 3 ebuilds around, instead of 6+. (and it's most likely going to be extended to spidermonkey at some point). 2: It'd be nice to get wayland+pgo to work simultaneously with mozilla-mach.eclass, but that's not a priority. 3: Add the new firefox & thunderbird versions as unkeyworded for now - especially updating thunderbird could be dangerous as usually your profile won't work if you downgrade between esr versions. I'm also going to remove all of our custom vaapi patches from 102esr. They were unfortunately shipped for 103, but I'm sure we're going to hit issues with them on esr during the following ~12 months. They've been rather painful to deal with already. I'm 50-50 on the wayland patches... they'd help with thunderbird but I also fear we're eventually run into issues with them. Maybe keep esr (and thunderbird) X11-only for now, as wayland sounds a bit too experimental at the moment... I would've liked to get both eclasses done this summer, but I've been, to my surprise, incredibly busy with work and other stuff. Hopefully now's a bit more silent time allowing me to focus on this.
Just FWIW: I built 102.0.3 and had no problems migrating settings and messages even from the very old thunderbird 68 I was still using. I just had to import my PGP key into thunderbird, because thunderbird doesn't integrate with GnuPG, but that is straightforward. Later, I upgraded to 102.1.0 and this version also seems ok. However, just a note to others in case anyone else is interested, this version does not provide a message filter to permanently decrypt incoming messages. You have to manually do something like ctrl-a to select all messages->right-click->copy as decrypted to->select a folder. (But I was basically doing equivalent work with enigmail anyway because that filter never seemed to get all the messages.)
Sorry for the noise. On this Thunderbird 102.1.1 release page: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/102.1.1/releasenotes/ It states that: Thunderbird version 102.1.1 is only offered as a direct download from thunderbird.net and not as an upgrade from Thunderbird version 91 or earlier. A future release will provide updates from earlier versions. So is it correct to say we should not expect to see Thunderbird 102.x.x in Gentoo until they are offering an upgrade path for Thunderbird 91.x.x ?

Yes. At least not with stable keywords, the next major thunderbird-102esr release will most likely be added as unstable. After I finish with the new mozilla eclass thunderbird-102 and thunderbird-bin-102 could be pushed with no keywords. Historically after you upgraded with your current profile you couldn't rollback anymore, so if the new version didn't work and you wanted to downgrade it was game over. So Mozilla, or the Thunderbird developers now, wants to make sure the mail client works before offering the update. I believe that's most likely due to the bundled sqlite differences between major esr releases. We could of course deal with this in ebuilds utilizing REPLACING_VERSIONS or has_version, but it's such a mess. Just bear with it for another month :)
(In reply to Joonas Niilola from comment #10) ... > Historically after you upgraded with your current profile you couldn't > rollback anymore, so if the new version didn't work and you wanted to > downgrade it was game over. ... Confirmed. If you try early, consider back-to-back reinsurance as facultative: !!! copy / backup your profile !!! [ e.g., "cp -a ~/.thunderbird/ ..." ] At least in a former version, for me, this ensured a way back to the previous, working situation.
An ebuild for dev-lang/spidermonkey-102 would be nice too. ... just because dev-libs/gjs-9999 is now looking for mozjs-102

I'll stabilize the firefox-bin-102esr as soon as mozilla starts offering the update through their channel. Could be tomorrow, 2 weeks, 4... I haven't checked the status yet though, could be available already.

At work (Windows 10), my Thunderbird 91.12.0 was upgraded to 101.1.2 a few days ago, so they must have started offering the in-place upgrade. Anyway, thanks for the answers!

I *think* the clearing checksums of audioipc is not needed for 102 branch? at least no patch in the 102esr tarball does touch those files, or do they?
(In reply to tt_1 from comment #28) > I *think* the clearing checksums of audioipc is not needed for 102 branch? > at least no patch in the 102esr tarball does touch those files, or do they? Yeah. Since 102esr is affected I thought about including it, but then backed out for providing wayland-only support which itself should fixe the issue with audioipc, if I remember correctly. At this point I may be forgetting something. I'll remove it if it causes problems, or for the next version bump latest. Everything should be done here now regarding this bug. Please open new bugs for any issues with these new versions.
