Hi Everyone.. I'm a new user on Arch Linux from Argentina but I want to start contributing. I updated the thunderbird-aurora <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/thunderbird-aurora/> PKGBUILD, but i don't know what to do. I can adopt the package, since it's orphan or make a new aur called thunderbird-earlybird since it's the correct name for the package (the channel it's called earlybird).

And a happy 2013 for everyone!

First off, welcome, and a happy new year to you. Just a comment:

To me it looks like you just changed the name. I would simply send an email to arch-general asking for a TU to merge the thunderbird-aurora package and this one. Thank you, -- William Giokas | KaiSforza GnuPG Key: 0xE99A7F0F Fingerprint: F078 CFF2 45E8 1E72 6D5A 8653 CDF5 E7A5 E99A 7F0F
