I'm starting to wonder if it makes sense to keep the enigmail package available as a package in openSUSE and would like to hear your opinion.
Usually there is not much advantage in having Addons as RPMs but in case of Enigmail I always offered an exception for the following reasons:
Please keep it as package. Having to install loads of add-ons per user to make mozilla.org software usable sucks enough already. Stuff that's basically considered mandatory for any sane MUA should be installed together with the mailer. Even more so if we're talking about native code.
Ok, but that means that support for prerelease versions of Thunderbird and Seamonkey will be very limited. I don't want to block releasing new Thunderbird stuff on enigmail availability. I don't expect that to be a problem for real openSUSE releases but Factory and mozilla:beta will break enigmail support regularly (as it did already in the last weeks).
Wouldn't that be the case with the pre-built, externally downloaded binary too? What kind of magic sauce do they put in their build if it's not the case?
Hmm, I missed one disadvantage and I'd like to hear some feedback on that: As Thunderbird is following Firefox' release cycle and won't provide security-only versions anymore future security updates are blocked by the availability of a stable Enigmail version. We probably can include a prerelease by the time of the official TB release but that must be made clear.
