Looks good. Mozilla and it's sub-projects are very good examples of what open source software can acheive.

Thanks slashdot morons - you killed the main ftp before the files got mirrored ! 
This is why bottorrent was invented, for those fuckers to not kill servers like that. |

does anybody know if thunderbird 0.3 is able to open links in emails in a new or already open firebird window? i need this feature pretty often, and it's really the only reason why i'm stuck with mozilla. i really like firebird+thunderbird, if there just was this one feature ...

from http://www.mozilla.org/website-beta/projects/thunderbird/release-notes.html#issues:
| Code: | | Unix users: our integration with the operating system has not been implemented yet. Clicking on HTTP URLs in mail messages fails to launch your default Linux browser. We hope to address this in the next release. We recognize how important this is for our unix users and apologize in advance. |

while I was unable to get 1.5 to build from that tarball on mozillas ftp, i was able to pull the cvs from today and use the mozilla-1.4-r4.ebuild, renamed to mozilla-1.5.ebuild
and it built just fine...
it seems like the tarball that I grabbed from mozilla's ftp was missing some files?!?! i.e. xpfe/components/shistory was empty but its not in the cvs...
anyways the current cvs is at 1.6a whooptidoo

| As far as I can tell they didn't. Clicking on http links in an email in thunderbird does absolutely nothing. It is the only thing keeping me from using it in Linux. Also mailto links still don't work right in Firebird. |

October 7th
Thunderbird Branch (0.3): Took the patch in Bug #220611 which fixes decoding of binhex attachments on non mac platforms. Ported Brendan's late breaking security patch that went into Moz 1.5 into thunderbird 0.3. This would not have effected many thunderbird users anyway because JS is off by default. Take bienvenu's fix for pop3 fcc operations sometimes spinning the throbber and never completing (Bug #220012). Take bienvenu's fix for Bug #218656: Unthreading does not resort the view. Now that we have fixed up the padding for toolbars, the default toolbar set for the mail toolbar should not have 3 spacers between the button groups. Just one spacer will suffice (branch and trunk). Port Bug #143570 to the 0.3 branch: Allow assigning helper apps to mailnews attachments by extension. This fixes a common problem where opening mail attachments showed application/octet-stream in the helper app dialog instead of a content type based on the file extnsion. Take Bug #65827 on the branch which helps solve some of the helper app dialog issues with attachments listed as application/octet-stream. This patch helps us now show the real underlying content type (such as Acrobat PDF) in the helper app dialog; however, we still disable the open button and don't show the default application.
Thunderbird Trunk: Fixed a regression with the helper app dialog when opening attachments that caused the Open Button to not show a default application in it (Bug #). Ported Neil's fix for Bug #45524 to change the text under the attachment button in mail compose for web pages and files. Stephen Walker ported the fix for Bug #64030 which adds context menus to the address book panes. Take Stephen Walker's fix for Bug #220404: Card Summary Pane menu item should be under View, not View | Toolbars.
Re-style the address book toolbar to do the following: 1) restore the icon on top, text on bottom style that was regressed. 2) make text only and icons only mode work on the address book toolbar (both trunk and 0.3 branch).

Hmm, not one of the mirrors seem to have mozilla 1.5 and ftp.mozilla.org is completely choked. Great planning on the part of mozilla.org  |

Tried the ebuild, got this:
| Code: | ubertop portage # emerge -p mozilla-firebird-0.7.ebuild
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies \!!! aux_get(): ebuild for 'local/mozilla-firebird-0.7' does not exist at:
!!! /usr/portage/local/mozilla-firebird/mozilla-firebird-0.7.ebuild
emerge: create(): aux_get() error on local/mozilla-firebird-0.7; aborting...
|
I put the ebuild in /usr/local/portage/net-www and have /usr/local/portage set as te overlay directory in make.conf. What am I missing here? |

| tdb, is not the overlay portage directory you set-up : /usr/local/portage instead of /usr/portage/local? |

1) IIRC, it will probably look in your current dir for the ebuild if you specify an ebuild file manually. Try something like 'emerge =mozilla-firebird-0.7'
2) Did you put it in /usr/local/portage/net-www/ or /usr/local/portage/net-www/mozilla-firebird ? It needs to be in the latter to work properly. |
