For xul-ext-gnome-keyring, I am building the extension twice, against both xulrunner-dev *and* icedove-dev, then packaging both binaries into the same XUL extension and using the appId to tell XPCOM to conditionally load the correct one. Have a look at debian/rules for source, although I don't know if the same strategy would be applicable to enigmail. I'm also not sure which version of the xulrunner lib the Debian iceape uses. http://packages.debian.org/sid/xul-ext-gnome-keyring https://github.com/infinity0/mozilla-gnome-keyring/tree/debian > Sorry to not have any more productive answers myself, > > --dkg > > > > _______________________________________________ > Pkg-mozext-maintainers mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-mozext-maintainers >
