Re: [aur-general] Deletion for enigmail?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 That makes sense, thanks. It's purely an extension. Right off their website: Enigmail is a security extension to Mozilla Thunderbird and Seamonkey. It enables you to write and receive email messages signed and/or encrypted with the OpenPGP standard. There's also a -bin package that follows the same naming pattern I believe. Maybe rename both?

Not completely sure about this one, but think we should delete enigmail? It's out of date and the plugin can be downloaded straight through Thunderbird's add-on manager. The maintainer hasn't updated the package despite its having been flagged out-of-date for months. There are also some comments including one about a 404'd source URL from over a month ago, so I have disowned the package.
It should not be deleted simply because the plugin is available via Thunderbird's add-on manager. It is often very useful to be able to install plugins for all users via a system package. This is why packages are provides for other Mozilla add-ons, such as firefox-adblock-plus in [community].
Does the package include any stand-alone functionality? If not, then it should be renamed "thunderbird-enigmail". I see that there are multiple enigmail packages on the AUR, but only some of them use the "thunderbird-" prefix.

The enigmail package was orphaned so I updated it and re-uploaded it as "thunderbird-enigmail". I haven't compiled it to test it, although I did let the compilation run for a while. The changes in the build and prepare functions follow the thunderbird package. There are some other minor changes as well. There are almost certainly some errors remaining, but there should be fewer than in the previous package and thus it should provide a good starting point for the next maintainer. I have also uploaded a thunderbird-enigmail-git package which is nearly identical to thunderbird-enigmail except for the source. I hope that the future maintainer will adopt both of these packages together. It may even make sense to create a split package given that the compilation of thunderbird is a common and time-consuming task. I have also left a comment on the enigmail-bin page to request that it be re-uploaded with the correct name. Regards, Xyne p.s. I saw that you were listed in the PKGBUILD as the maintainer. Do you no longer use it?
