that depends a bit on the point of view as I don't see anything is breaking here, but o.k.. :) In the past while working on the first betas for the upcoming new ESR version of Thunderbird I've tried to spread early any news regarding the next (and now live) TB ESR version 78.x by sending information about the ongoing process to pkg-mozext-maintainers. I requested early testing of TB and also that the maintainers of packaged Add-ons to take of "their" Add-ons. This mostly was not possible though as even the upstream maintainers did not provide updated versions of Add-ons. The situation for Enigmail was different, there were new versions. But until today we didn't get it managed that the Enigmail Add-on get updated within Debian without any feedback from the maintainers why no progress is possible. As nobody can be enforced to do anything in Debian, but also Thunderbird isn't a small and non relevant package in Debian, I moved ahead and uploaded finally Thunderbird to unstable to moving forward. It's always possible to install the Enigmail Add-on within the local profile. We did had a quite similar situation with the previous ESR version 68 in Debian. So I do not know why Enigmail can't get an update until today nor have I the time and knowledge to prepare a updated enigmail package via NMU. > Fwiw, I'm willing to NMU enigmail, if there is no progress on #970111. That's of course fine if you want to do that. And now already did. -- Regards Carsten Schoenert
