Thunderbird 78.6.0

[ericonr]

Still seeing if cross compilation reaches the end successfully.

Would appreciate testers.

Have launched on x86_64-musl, but I'm not on the device that uses thunderbird, so I haven't logged in yet.

Based on and closes #24509

I missed this pr, will test tomorrow on my x86_64-musl machine.
Thanks.

It builds successfully.
@ericonr Could you remind me how to install on my local machine a package that was buillt on a different one (same arch) and copied via scp, if possible? I have a thunderbird-78.5.1_1.x86_64-musl.xbps file but not sure how to use it.
Thanks.

@dkwo just use xdowngrade from xtools!

[dkwo]

Thanks. It seems to work fine, you can merge the PR as far as I'm concerned.

Hi,
is there an schedule when Thunderbird 78.x gets released as a package?

Thanks

[ericonr]

I'm working on finishing it up (and updating to 78.6.0), then will ask for review from others and merge ASAP.

Welcoming testers, especially on glibc.

I tried compiling both v78.5.1 and v78.6.0 in a clean void-packages folder (cloned from your fork) and both fail in the same location:

Let me know if you need any info about my system/setup and I will provide it, running up-to-date glibc void with latest kernel 5.9.16.

The kernel's OOM killer is killing the process during the linking phase. You have to give it more memory (less parallelism, for example). Here the linker took around 10G of RAM.

Correct, I was able to compile it on my desktop with 64GB RAM, as I finished compiling I saw it was actually just published as a pre-packaged binary in the repos and works great :-)

Ty!
