The Mozilla Calendar project has been re-named to Sunbird. This calendar program is the only one in Linux to integrate nicely with Firefox and Thunderbird. An ebuild would be very helpful due to the lack of choices for Linux calendar programs. Here is the project page: http://mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird.html Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Sunbird hasn't made any releases yet. Here is a quote from the web page: "At the moment Sunbird is in an experimental stage. Although it is quite stable, we recommend it for testing purposes only." Personally I think we should just wait for Sunbird to make an actual release. What do you think, Brad?
Agreed fully; picking a good date on which to roll a source tarball from CVS is nasty business. Waiting for an official source tarball ensures much better quality. In the past to hasten the introduction of mozilla thunderbird, source snapshots taken from CVS on the date and time of their nightly builds was done so that an ebuild could take shape around it, but these were hard-masked. Sunbird doesn't seem to be approaching a release just yet (the nightlies don't seem to include a Linux binary often enough yet either).
There's a new tarball on the Mozilla Sunbird downlaod page dated 6/2/2004. Would this count? http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird_download.html

Added to CC list; this looks promising, can't wait for an actual release.
Also added to CC list -- I would love to see an ebuild of sunbird!
Re comment #1 & 2 For crying out loud, Firefox and Thunderbird are also still "experimental" so that's hardly a reason to leave SB out of portage. Personally I've been using Sunbird since last winter and IMO it's certainly good enough to be made available by now. :)
Version 0.2 of Sunbird was released on Tuesday, August 17th. It is the first "official" beta release. Surely now we can see it move into portage? http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird.html http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/08/18/2217253&tid=154&tid=1
Ok, I'll work on this if nobody else on the mozilla team minds...
This bug is older than 54988, but I'm marking this as a duplicate of that because that one contains sample ebuilds *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 54988 ***
