Since version 24 thunderbird does not use libnotify anymore,
new mail notification are not integrated with default system
notifications, both fedora and ubuntu apply a patch to
revert this change:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=853104 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1001998 https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/thunderbird/sources/patches https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/thunderbird/1:24.1.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1/+files/thunderbird_24.1.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1.debian.tar.gz I tested the patch and thunderbird notifications work as expected, do you think the patch can be applied to thunderbird in extra or is better to upload a thunderbird-libnotify package with this patch on aur? |

I have subscribed to the upstream issue in case they decide to address it so we can then readd the libnotify dependency to the Arch package.
