------- Additional Comments From webmaster@aus-city.com 2007-05-30 18:54 EST ------- There may have been a bug, but its gone now let me explain.
I installed the thunderbird 2.0 directly from the development repository on two fc6 servers, both use enigmail (gnupgp). There is no problem at all.
However - when you first run thunderbird, it goes through its update checks (much like if you updated firefox from 1 to 2) and then it complains that enigmail 0.94 is not compatible. You then highlight it and click find update (its all part of the update check screen), it goes and puts in enigmail 0.95 and it all works just perfectly.
Perhaps the enigmail update was not ready back then, but I assure you it all works 100% and so much better than thunderbird 1.5 and I have not had a single problem. I send and receive lots of emails a day.
So its definitely not a bug.

After quick look on your spec one question came in mind. I have no experience with packaging plugins for thunderbird/firefox but is it really needed to build whole thunderbird aside?
Hm... I answered myself after a bit more digging in the spec and enigmail homepage... Yes, and No. We do not need whole thunderbird, only part of it. So the question now is: does the patches to thunderbird affect the enigmail build?
Apart from this question your spec file looks pretty good, only I don't see there any documentation, but that's probably OK, as there isn't any in upstream tarball either, but there is also no licence in separate file, you should query upstream about that, I think.

------- Additional Comments From Fedora@FamilleCollet.com 2007-05-31 16:44 EST ------- The thunderbird patches are probably not needed for enigmail, bug i prefer to use "exactly" the same build tree than thunderbird to avoid any problem.
And this way the spec is simpler to maintain ;)
For the License, i probably could add : http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/MPL-1.1.txt
But, this information is available in the "About" option.

Hmm... I though exactly the oposity in the case of simplicity of maintaining, but you have the direct experience...

Hm... that way it's probably OK, but it wouldn't hurt adding the licence as other source and marking it as %%doc

I could take the review, but I am still quite unsure with the approach of aside building of thunderbird. I mean, at least theoretically, all the thunderbird files that are needed to build enigmail should go to thunderbird-devel package (which is currently not created AFAIK) and then enigmail's makemake and Makefile.in's should be patchable to use the files available in the package. I just don't like that for such a small extension (about 0.5 MB) we need approx 35 MB big source package and that it takes so long (because of the inclusion tb build) to build. Just feel this is an issue which needs at least to be discused.

------- Additional Comments From Fedora@FamilleCollet.com 2007-06-03 03:32 EST ------- You're right.
Other distro simply build this extension during thunderbird build. Really the simplest way. But i really don't think C.Aillon will be ok with this (already discussed). See Bug #175451 and #211371. But feel free to post this on the "devel" list.
When FF 3 will be available (F8, F9 ?), with separated runtime/devel engine (gecko/xulrunner), i think this will become possible.

------- Additional Comments From martin.sourada@seznam.cz 2007-07-20 18:51 EST ------- Hi,
I noticed that xulrunner was approved as a feature for Fedora 8. In OLPC-2 branch it is even already imported (for quite a while), so now we are only waiting when it lands into rawhide. So, it might have an effect on this review... Do you know whether it can be built against it (the OLPC's SRPM rebuilds fine on Fedora 7)? I think it will need some changes to the Makefiles but the xulrunner(-devel) packages should have got all that is needed to build it.

--- Comment #10 from RedHat-User@TheMoreIKnow.info 2011-06-05 22:38:12 EDT --- I'm just pinging the people on the carbon-copy list of this bug to see whatever became of this. This bug was documented against Fedora 6... my install of Fedora 15 (x86_64) reveals that Enigmail is still not packaged with the Fedora Thunderbird or SeaMonkey RPMs.
Of course, trying to install the enigmail-1.1.2-linux-x86_64-gcc4.4.3.xpi plugin from http://enigmail.mozdev.org/download/index.html results in this error:
"Enigmail" could not be installed because it is not compatible with your Thunderbird build type (Linux_x86_64-gcc3). Please contact the author of this item about the problem.
So, I'm just wondering why Fedora doesn't include Enigmail in their distribution and what you others have done as a work-around.

thunderbird-enigmail package is available in rpmfusion.
===
I'm a week late in doing so, but I still wanted to thank you, Remi, for that information.
I've read a little bit about RPM Fusion[1][2], and I applaud the incredible amount of work those volunteers do. (That includes you, Remi, as I see you are a contributor.)
It would be nice if RPM Fusion provided Enigmail not only for Thunderbird but for SeaMonkey, too. But what I think would be better is if the Fedora Project packaged Enigmail for both. They already package Thunderbird & SeaMonkey, and I think more people would trust this encryption/security-related package if it came from them. (Not knocking the RPM Fusion volunteers -- it is just one has to wonder why the Fedora Project doesn't package this, themselves.)
I would like to suggest adding Enigmail to Fedora's package wish list[3], but it appears only contributors can edit that wiki page. (If only I had the time & skills to contribute...) Anybody know how to suggest a package for inclusion in Fedora?
