Does it require repackaging in Fedora? Its is a trivially easy extension
to install. What we need is not packages but better documentation on
using GPG. write up a outline and post to the list and see if any of the
contributors listed
(
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Contributors) would be
interested in writing the document. We really need to focus on getting
simple documents done better.
Does it *require* repackaging? I'm not sure. Look at the instructions
at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/WithThunderbird
and you tell me. These have been up for some time. I'd say being able
to use yum or pirut would be a big help here for beginners.
Somebody out there on this list has to be using Thunderbird. Got a few
minutes to contribute? Then try these instructions, AS WRITTEN, and let
us know if they're not working. Better yet, edit the wiki page shown
here. We'll see the results and handle any editing, so don't worry
about getting your spelling or grammar perfect. Step right up folks!
