Yeah, that makes sense for such extensions, but I think gpg is a whole other ballgame. :) A. -- In serious work commanding and discipline are of little avail. - Peter Kropotkin

AFAIK he hasn't made a decision yet and I doubt he will use backports because it's not for fixing bugs in stable. ;-) I can only say for myself that my private backport of enigmail works on Stretch and I have only removed the versioned dependency on gnupg2. If it turns out this is not feasible for Jessie, then we should make an announcement with the next Firefox update that Firefox addons are no longer supported. However I am willing to backport ublock-origin and https-everywhere with my maintainer hat on and I believe this is doable. Markus signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

But stretch has GnuPG 2.1 and it's the default gpg binary. jessie will be a whole other story... dkg was saying the reason Enigmail used openpgp.js is because gpg was outdated somehow on some platforms: * instead, i realized that the OpenPGP.js node package was only needed by enigmail for a few things, in particular to avoid needing a newer version of GnuPG. * there were a few small changes that needed to be made to GnuPG to make enigmail pass its test suites properly without OpenPGP.js, so i got them made upstream in GnuPG. * then i stripped OpenPGP.js from enigmail, and bumped enigmail's dependency on GnuPG. Source: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=909000 I wonder what that was all about... Was the solution for stretch finally to remove enigmail from stable and use backports?

I have backported the Buster version of Enigmail to Stretch and it works simply by removing the versioned dependency on gnupg2. So far I haven't noticed any issues.
