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

[Carsten Schoenert]

Hi

just a short heads up, I uploaded yesterday TB 77.0~b2 to experimental 
and now the buildds have done their work mostly (ppc64el isn't build, 
other have unresolved B-D).

So if you aren't able to test 77.0~b1 due missed binary packages you can 
give it now a try. OpenPGP *is* somehow working, but it isn't very user 
friendly yet. There is possible a ~b3 in charge, MZLN will uplift a new 
set of patches for addressing the OpenPGP usability issues.
