Description

![]() Thats in the 1.5.0.8 ebuild, which is really older, blame mips for having it, i'm not going to fix it when it should be removed. Then let's ask mips if it can be removed. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390604 2.0 doesn't work on mips and i don't see that changing soon. Redhatter, what do you think? I'm aware of Thunderbird being rather behind on MIPS. The last version marked stable, is the only version known to work without issues on big-endian MIPS. Later versions, including the 2.0-series, break when talking to IMAP servers. The problem does not exist on little-endian MIPS. I've been able to use Thunderbird 2.0 on the Loongson boxes without issues -- the problem only appears when using big-endian systems such as the SGI systems we traditionally support. I've asked the Mozilla people for advice in bug 390604 ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390604 )... I haven't had the time to chase it further -- as my university course reaches its conclusion, I'm finding I have less and less time. 1.5 is now masked in-tree and isn't keyworded for anything but mips. Plus, it probably has bigger problems than a suspected runtime dep on autoconf :p Closing WONTFIX |
