Hello all,
I was recently asked on irc if I knew what we going on with
Thunderbird in EPEL7 and I hadn't looked at it in a while but it looks
like the latest build failed:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=597057
However, it appears that this is because the version of nss-static
(nss-devel) on PPC64 is too old to build the latest version of
Thunderbird. This appears to still be the case today after more than 2
weeks after the update hit the RHEL7 x86_64 repos. I don't know why
RHEL on PPC64 is lacking this but I'm of the opinion that we could at
least in the mean time build an ExclusiveArch version of the latest
(31.3.0) Thunderbird for x86_64 and if/when PPC64 catches up then
there could be a bump in the spec file and a build for that arch as
well.
I'm not the maintainer or even one of the co-maintainers of
Thunderbird so I don't have a whole lot of skin in the game but I did
want to bring the discussion to the group and see what everyone thinks
about it.
NOTE: Since I wasn't sure about who all is subscribed to this list
I've CC'd xhorak since they have done the most recent koji build and
are actually a maintainer of Thunderbird.
Random side-note: I did test that this builds with 'ExclusiveArch: x86_64'

Looking forward to everyone's feedback,
