EPEL Thunderbird and/or claws-mail in epel 7 beta

[Clyde E. Kunkel]

Hi,

Will the subject packages be included in epel 7?  I don't see them
listed on the web pages at
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/SRPMS/repoview/

Someone will have to step up and maintain them there.  (I hope it doesn't end 
up being me).  Fairly surprised that TB isn't in RHEL, I guess they're just 
backing evolution.

Jan - any interest?

Thunderbird is going to be a pain for the EPEL rules. It would have to keep
up with the other items that are in RHEL (xulrunner and firefox) which
could mean API changes when they go from long-term to long term.

Thunderbird is a standalone app, it bundles xulrunner, so not this kind
of problem.

Okay, I'll do it. I just have to get familiar how EPEL works.

I think for TB will work the following
- request an EPEL-7 branch
- git checkout epel7
- git merge master
- fedpkg build
