Hot off the presses, Mozilla 1.7.7 and Mozilla Firefox 1.0.3. They fix lots of known vulnerabilities, so everyone update! Quick like a bunny!

I'm thinking of pulling enigmail out of our Mozilla and Thunderbird builds. They're a stone on the road to official branding, and they're a bit of a pain to update. Why rebuild the entire package for just enigmail, when you can install the XPI separately?. That's my take anyway. What's everyone else think?

Why not create a separate ebuild for enigmail and the such? Regards,

And slightly related, when will we see a working firefox ebuild allowing to build epiphany and other mozilla-dependent apps against it, this allows some features to work in epiphany that don't when using mozilla package.. ?

The XPI installs are a slight pain in the wrong places and the tb ebuild does all the in one shot. I really ask you to reconsider or maybe have a seperate enigmail ebuild?

Thanks!

Personally, I enjoy enigmail as a part of mozilla-tb. I use both on a regular basis, and it is very convient to have enigmail installed with tb. However, if another ebuild was provided, that would be ok too I suppose (it would be esepecially nice if +crypt on tb made enigmail a dependency).

Please don't do so, is very usefull to have it installed with just a use flag and consider that if someone don't whant it he can just install thunderbird-bin
