It is sad that we have to wait on Red Hat to do The Right Thing™ (not using bundled unsupported cryptographical library and breaking users gpg configuration), but shouldn't we at least now package this into our Thunderbird?
started to work on it in mozilla:experimental.
Not working yet, though.
Thanks :-)
If somebody knows more about it, please talk ;-)
So, the issue is that Thunderbird 78.9.1 introduced new APIs between TB and librnp so that Octopus is incomplete at this very moment. Devs are informed and now aware to update octopus.
Thanks for reporting :-)
For people still curious and want to see updates:
The repo mozilla:experimental now contains a TB 78.9.1 which installs an additional subpackage called MozillaThunderbird-openpgp
That package can be replaced with sequoia-octopus-librnp containing the Octopus drop-in replacement.
As said: at this moment some things don't work. Actually I don't know if there are even some things which work at the moment. The library can be loaded but already listing of keys is broken.
And the usual disclaimer: Using mozilla-experimental may eat your data. Specifically your PGP data so make sure you have backups and use it on your own risk.
I think I will stay this way of the fence for the time ;-) It is very interesting to see advancement and light, even if far. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
