[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Thunderbird 77.0~b1 awaiting for build on buildd's

[Carsten Schoenert]

Hi,

MZLN did release Thunderbird 77.0b1 in the past week. I used my free
time due vacation to adopt this release and uploaded the prepared
package to experimental again.

Unfortunately aptitude within the sbuild based buildd's making some
troubles currently and no binary packages of this version are built
right now. So I've no idea when packages for Thunderbird can be pulled
from the archive again. So you might need to build packages on your own.
Maybe I put some packages to p.d.o.

The release notes for version 77.0 can be found here, this will get
updated once other beta versions getting prepared.

The version 77.0b1 is the first version with some internal OpenPGP
functionality. I haven't got it working, but this might be related to
the mentioned issue due GCC usage, I try to rebuild TB by using Clang.
As always, I'm happy to hear tips and build improvements. :)

I still can't see any packaged extension working with these new
versions. Will get again a hard time to figure out what we will need to
do. :(
