My mistake you are right. Modifying the pkgbuild would be much easier to do than maintain a trash duplicate.

I can yay -S external-editor-revived --editmenu And comment out the depends() line or remove thunderbird from it. That is a helpful argument for changing the pkgbuild during installation.

Thanks

@LaptopDev

Would you consider adding betterbird to PKGBUILD? I don't use the official thunderbird app.

depends=('thunderbird') conflicts=('betterbird') provides=('betterbird')

It's unclear to me what you were trying to achieve, or maybe I'm not as good at PKGBUILD as I think I am.

Doing this will recommend users to replace Betterbird with Thunderbird AFAIU. If this package doesn't work with Betterbird due to installation location, one should simply make another package; if the extension itself doesn't work with Betterbird, then it just has nothing to do with Betterbird...? betterbird-bin [1] does not conflict against Thunderbird, so it seems perfectly valid to me to install both + this package on one machine? Plus EER does not 'provide' Betterbird by any means?
