[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Thunderbird 68.0~b1 uploaded to experimental, call for testing

[Carsten Schoenert]

Hi,

thanks to some injury on my left leg (no nothing serious) I had enough
free time the past days. And some of this I used to have a look at the
recent released version of Thunderbird 68.0b1 with a POV to packaging it
for Debian.
Just to remember, Thunderbird 68.x will be the next ESR round for
Thunderbird. That is mainly the reason why I'm writing this email.

I was able to collect all parts together and I could to build this
version as Debian packages.
The language packages (thunderbird-l10-*) are known as not functional
while writing because I was needed to use currently the packages from
the previous beta release. Looks like upstream has again changed their
build of Thunderbird and the resulting structure in their CDN. I"ll need
to have a closer look at this in the next weeks.
But the l10n support isn't something really critical for now. So I
decided to not keep holding back a upload to experimental because of the
known broken l10n packages.

I uploaded yesterday the first version of the round TB 68.x to
experimental, by this email I want to do a call for testing of this
version especially for the integration of other packaged extensions. One
of the for really critical extensions is Enigmail and even the current
upstream version of Enigmail isn't working.

@Daniel, maybe you know more about the circumstances why Enigmail isn't
working (yet)?

And as always, there are plenty of broken RC platforms visible in the
build log.
If someone can provides patches that will fix any of them I'm happy to
apply them.
