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.

The .desktop file points to an incorrect location. Also it looks like thunderbird-beta no longer exists and should be just thunderbird

I have issues with my thunderbird (not only this version but it started some versions before).

In compose windows I don't see any significant changes when composing email (no diff between Arial, Comic Sans or Courier). In Sent folder the only diff is on line with fixed width. When such email goes to Gmail -> everything looks fine there.

Any tips where to look with this issue?

I have posted example here: https://ibb.co/RSRd86m

Adopted this package. Will post a cleaned up version soon.

Thunderbird 60.0 was released today, so it should not be too long before the main supported version is built for Thunderbird 60 in [extra] at https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/thunderbird/

I would imagine that it would then be possible to use that PKGBUILD for version 60 to build from source, In the next week or two the beta will likely move to version 61.0b1 and then hopefully using the PKGBUILD for version 60 might be adapted without too much work to build version 61.0bX series.

Edited: As at 25th October 2018 current beta is 64.0b1

@tomoaki 60.0b10 has been out for some weeks now and the source is at https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/candidates/60.0-candidates/build4/source/ with the latest dated 31st July currently, and it won't be too long before version 60 is released beyond beta. After that it looks like the beta will be 61 later this summer. So maybe the PKBUILD can be altered once 60 is released to either build that, or start working to build the next beta series 61. Things are developing at the thunderbird source side, but I can't find where any changes are documented.

@mike.cloaked I tried building, and I had the same error saying "ERROR: Cannot find project mail". From 60.0b7, directories 'mail' and 'calendar' are missing from source files; however, strangely, there exists a directory 'browser'. I think that this is something to do with the error.

60.0b9 is released - has anyone made any progress building?

It seems that the directory structure for the source files has changed a fair bit so I have been trying to edit the patch files to match the new source structure - the firefox patch files don't seem directly related to the files that are now there. Also there are changes in the PKGBUILD file related to the above, as well as the build section needing to be changed from make -f client.mk build to ./mach build, so there needs to be some work to get this to build. I have reached the stage where the makepkg -s command gets to the start of initiating the build but I get an error "ERROR: Cannot find project mail" and the build stops at an early stage. Has anyone managed to get this to build yet?
