Title:
thunderbird-esr is missing
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
The rolling releases of thunderbird in ubuntu 12.04 (LTS) and newer
renders thunderbird in some use cases as unusable or a known security
problem.
In some circumstances the usability of thunderbird is bound to
additional add-ons, which are not available through the ubuntu
repositories. An add-on I depend on is e.g. the funambol connector
(--> https://maurus.net/resources/funambol/ ).
If I update to a new version of thunderbird, I have a time frame of days till
weeks there is now new version of this add-on is available.
To avoid this situation I have to pin the thunderbird to stick on the old
version.
The old version doesn't contain the security fixes :-/
So what solution I take I'm loosing functionality or security.
To avoid this situation an thunderbird-esr version inside the ubuntu archive
would help.
(Especially where are not much new functionality will happen in the next
thunderbird releases.)
