A Brief update for anyone who happens to be reading this ITP and
wondering whats happening:
I've got a nice package building and working for mozilla suite's
mail/news client (1.7.12), but not yet managed for thunderbird (1.5).
I've encountered several problems - firstly mozilla-thunderbird-config
now seems to be called thunderbird-config, at least on Debian. Thats
easy for me to patch at compile time though.
There's a parameter to the Makefile which specifies a custom
thunderbird-config file name.
Secondly ./get-platform on my ibook running Debian is returning
unknown for `uname -p`, but it's not failing so the script isn't using
`uname -m` which would make more sense I think.
Peculiar.
Thirdly on both powerpc and amd64 the thunderbird .xpi that gets built
says "New Mail Icon" could not be installed because it is not
compatible with your Mail/News build type (Linux_unknownABI). Please
contact the author of this item about the problem. Is this a known
issue? Do you have a fix/update, and if not would you like me to
investigate further? Or is it just me being stupid somehow?
It's a matter of Mozilla's build system not recognizing those platforms
properly. File a bug in Mozilla's Bugzilla about XPCOM_ABI not being set
properly for x86-64 and ppc. Cc me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you wanna know what this XPCOM_ABI is and how to test what your
client was compiled with, please see:
