This package now attempts to build the latest available beta. The version auto updates on build, similar to git packages. There is technically no longer any need for version bumps. However, I plan to check and bump the package approximately once a month.

Mozilla's mach build system has some python dependencies, which version constraints may be in conflict with packages installed in your system, so I recommend building in a clean chroot.

So far so good. Notifications via libnotify seem to work, and I saw no graphical glitches (compiled with --enable-system-cairo). Unfortunately firetray (0.2.8 and 0.2.9-dev) doesn't work. The install.rdf says the max version is 3.2.*. I changed that to 3.3.*, but the icon doesn't show up in the tray.

>Nah, I can wait for this to compile. You say that now but you'll get fed up with it in the end :). Especially if a new version was released later that day with just a tiny tiny fix that makes the whole program to actually start up. About cairo (1.10.2), I'm not sure. It's still disabled with [extra]'s thunderbird, though. You can test that on the same go, if you like.

Hey, yeah, the "a" stands for "alpha". This version is quite stable, expect when you rapidly do things like delete your mails that causes the 'red crosses' not to be shown in all of them. Stuff like that. This should indeed depend on 'libnotify'. I'll try to remember adding it.

How usable is this? The 'a' in $pkgver means it's alpha, right? Also, does this use libnotify for notifications? If yes, why does it not depend on libnotify?

Fixed.
