Please keep me CC on pkg-mozext-maintainers! Hi,
in the past days I've worked on importing the recent beta version 58.0b3 of Thunderbird into the packaging tree and adjust the packaging to get proper created and working packages based on this upstream version. I uploaded this version to experimental [1] right now and the buildd shout start to work soon on this upload. As this is a first version of Thunderbird for Debian with the new introduced webextension interface I suspect a lot of existing xul-ext-* package do not working well with this version of Thunderbird. As far I could figure out the current version of Enigmail in unstable isn't working with the uploaded version of Thunderbird, a local installed nightly version 2.0a2pre is doing the job again. I also needed to disable xul-ext-dispmua and xul-ext-compactheader as those extensions are not working together in TB 58.0. I don't know if there are more recent versions available which working again with TB 58 and greater. But there some more xul-ext packages out there which need to be updated or at least detected as not working so src:thunderbird can add a Breaks on the non working versions. There I need some help. I also needed to add a symlink from /u/l/t/extensions to /u/s/xul-ext/calendar-google-provider to get this add-on working. This add-on is packaged by mozilla-devscript inside the Debian build. I suspect m-d needs some rework to also work with the new webextension interface. Sebastian Noack already raised this question last year on pkg-mozext-maintainers [1]. I'm not really familiar with the new webextension interface so for sure the packaging of calendar-google-provider will need some more adjustments in future uploads as well. Help in doing this is appreciated. I tried to build this version with GCC7 (again) but this is resulting again in a not usable Thunderbird binary, the UI isn't really visible than and make Thunderbird impossible to use. So I keep staying on a build with GCC6 like also done for unstable/testing. I turn on the usage of libnspr4, libnss3 and libsqlight3, the versions of those library are recent enough to get Thunderbird built. libicu hasn't start the transition yet so I use the embedded source to built a own version of the icudat* file. So I'd like to call by this email to test the current prepared Thunderbird version and also the existing xult-ext add-ons in the archive. Feel free to open bug reports about issues you have found, please keep them tagged by a usertag 'tb-webextension' with the user thunderb...@packages.debian.org e.g. using the bts command. > $ bts user thunderb...@packages.debian.org , usertags <$bugnumber> > tb-webextension As some of you may know, the next ESR version of Thunderbird will be version 60, targeted for 2018-05-08. I plan to upload new beta versions of Thunderbird until Mozilla has reached a first final version 60.0. The current release plan for the next versions can be found on their Rapid Release Calendar [3]. I will travel to FOSDEM again this year, so if someone wants to meet me and talk about the packaging (or other stuff) just ping via email.
