Summary: Mozilla-Thunderbird: VERY OLD Enigmail module (v: 0.8, 0.9 and 0.9-r2)
Product: Gentoo Linux Reporter: inode77 <simon.gerber>
Component: Current packagesAssignee: Mozilla Gentoo Team <mozilla>
Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

Description inode77 2004-11-14 05:05:53 UTC
Since package version mozilla-thunderbird-0.8 when the ebuild conatained 0.86.0 and should have contained 0.86.1 the enigmail module stayed on version 0.86.0.

Now we have mozilla-thunderbird-0.9-r2 and STILL this tiny error is not corrected.
The actual Enigmail version to go with would be 0.89.0.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge enigmail
2.enigmail about
3.shows 0.86.0 instead of 0.89.0
Actual Results:  
Enigmail 0.86.0

Expected Results:  
Enigmail 0.89.0

If a package like enigmail (security) is inclueded into mozill-thunderbird
(which I think is a great idea!) then one should pay special attention that
always the actual version (right version according mozdev.org - enigmail) is
included.

It's hard enough to to sensibilize concerning security, what is nothing compared
to make people to use gpg and sign their messages. Distributing a new, cool
package like mozilla-thunderbird without the appropriate module makes that task
once more difficult than it should be.

FIX: 
1.) Enable portage overlay in "/etc/make.conf"
2.) Copy ebuild to to overlay directory using the portage directory structure
3.) Correct line EMVER="0.86.0" to EMVER="0.89.0"
4.) ebuild
/usr/local/portage/mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird/mozilla-thunderbird-0.9-r2.ebuild
digest
5.) emerge -u mozilla-thunderbird

Please update the IPC-Version, too.

I altered the .ebuild:

EMVER="0.89.0"
IPCVER="1.1.1"

A test build succeeded.
