Bugzilla – Bug 530765
RN: MozillaThunderbird 3.0 Beta Version
Last modified: 2009-11-25 17:17:56 UTC
We will ship only 3.0 Beta2 with 11.2 because Thunderbird is supposed to go final shortly after 11.2 and then 2.0 will be only supported for very short period of time after that. However the add-on support for 3.0 is not up to speed yet but people use those a lot. So we should mention in the release notes that we have, for the period where 3.0 is not final yet the version 2.0 in the mozilla buildservice repository available.
We are actually shipping 3.0b3 of Thunderbird but I can confirm the rest.
Thanks for input!
This is my proposal: <!-- bnc#530765 --> <sect3 id="thunderbird"> <title>Thunderbird</title> <para>With openSUSE 11.2 we ship Thunderbird 3.0 beta3, which will go final shortly after the 11.2 release.</para> <para>If you still depend on add-ons, which are only available for Thunderbird 2.0, you can install this version from the mozilla buildservice repostitory at <ulink url="http://download.opensuse.org"/>. But note, Thunderbird 2.0 will be only supported for very short period of time, once version 3.0 is available.</para> </sect3>
Fine with me. One change: we already ship 3.0 beta4 with 11.2

(In reply to comment #4) > Fine with me. One change: we already ship 3.0 beta4 with 11.2 Ok, fixed in SVN. I'll create a new sr by the end of this week.
Please include a direct link to the repo instead of forcing people to search on download.opensuse.org ;-)
I would have done it, if you would have provided better info ;)
http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/mozilla/openSUSE_11.2/MozillaThunderbird.ymp thats the one-click install file you should link.
But keep in mind that the version there will be 3.0 once it is released finally. Afterwards the 2.0.0.x version will live for some time in mozilla:legacy.
hm thats doof. How about you linkpac it already there today and we use that one?
Ok, it's actually copied there now. Use the mozilla:legacy location.
http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/mozilla:legacy/openSUSE_11.2/MozillaThunderbird.ymp that is
Thanks for sorting it out!
