This is a duplicate of bug 668513.
@Lubomir: Fedora 14 contains a version of Lightning that is compatible with Thunderbird 3.1.7. However, in Fedora 14 the "thunderbird-lightning" RPM was recently moved into the "thunderbird" package out of the "sunbird" package, where it is in EPEL 6 now. RHEL already has a "thunderbird" package. Is it a conflict to have a "thunderbird" package in EPEL as well, which only builds thunderbird-lightning? If that is not a problem, then the "thunderbird" package from Fedora 14 should be copied into EPEL, except that building the "thunderbird" RPM itself should be disabled.
Sorry I meant the previous comment to go on bug 668513. Please mark this one as the duplicate.
Same issue occurs on i386.
@Lubomir: You have not responded to this bug report since it was opened three months ago. Please respond if you are still maintaining the sunbird package. Otherwise I will ask FESco to take over this package, following the process described in: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers -- @Pierre: please see updates I posted to bug 668513.
SECOND TRY -- @Lubomir: You have not responded to this bug report since it was opened three months ago. Please respond if you are still maintaining the sunbird package. Otherwise I will ask FESco to delete this package, following the process described in: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers
Lubomir says here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668513: "Uh, sorry for my non-responsiveness. I am not able to maintain Sunbird any more and am orphaning the package." Anyway, there is this package: thunderbird-lightning-1.0-0.42.b3pre.fc14.src.rpm http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=259045 It can be recompiled for el6 and it works ok with rhel 6.1 and thunderbird 3.1.12. So could somebody with access to epel just rebuild it for epel.el6 ?
Oh, there is an el6 version: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=239998
So given there's a version that works for EL6, what's holding up getting it into EPEL?
The EL6 version seems to have been deleted from: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=239998 FWIW - the FC14 build seems to work on EL6 (from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=259045), but it would be nice to have the package ported and available in an "official build" on EL6.
And as Dave Botsch originally mentioned, the non-working version of thunderbird-lightning in EPEL is useless and should not be available. It annoys and confuses more than it serves anything. Indeed, the extension available here does work. http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/releases/1.0b2/contrib/linux-x86_64/ However, to my knowledge, there is no official documentation that points to this procedure. So the regular user might just give up the installation of the calendar extension. Since it appears that a working package has been built (from Fedora 14 ?), what's missing for getting it to replace the currently non-working one ?
The thunderbird-lightning is no longer part of sunbird package. There is separate thunderbird-lightning package, please reopen if problem reoccurs.
