Hi Javier,<br>
<br>
It's named thunderbird-artix as indeed when named thunderbird the
order of included repo's in pacman.conf would determine which one
would be installed, which might lead to confusion and issues.<br>
<br>
One of the reasons to provide thunderbird-artix is that it's
critical that any security issues in an email client are fixed asap,
but Arch's updates of Thunderbird are almost always weeks behind.
Thunderbird-artix is available within a day of a new Thunderbird
release. Also, the api integrations for ie. location services for
Google and Mozilla have been disabled, as well as crashreporter and
updater, and jack audio is enabled.<br>
<br>
Thx for the hint about octopus, which seems interesting.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
artist<br>

I noticed universe has a "thunderbird-artix", and I'm wondering
why named "-artix" instead of plain "thunderbird", in which case
if "universe" is included in pacman.conf before arch repos, then
the universe thunderbird package would be installed, rather than
the arch one...
<br>
<br>
Something else I'm wondering is what are the main differences. By
looking at [1] vs [2], I can't notice much difference, except by
some dependencies... Unfortunately, on [3] (the thunderbird-artix
gitea), I only see the PKGBUILD available as to asses differences
on the mozconfig.cfg build options... Perhaps someone can tell.
Conveniently enough arch offers language packages for TB, but TB
can manage installing them any ways, so not a must...
<br>
<br>
BTW, It would be nice if artix version integrated octupus [4] on
its build, but looking at the PKGBUILD only, it doesn't seem it
does. I 1st heard about it from arch-general mailing list
[5][6]. That would add great value I believe.
<br>
<br>
Thanks !
