Thanks for the reference, Simon. [tl;dr: delays due to CentOS folks repeating tremendous effort RH already solved.] While I am grateful for everyone's time and efforts, it is hard to understand why there isn't more technology transfer within RH to the CentOS folks if they're one big happy family. And disappointing there is no communication on this issue here.
With vulnerable internet-interacting apps like Thunderbird and Firefox (possibly others), IMHO CentOS 7 is unsafe for general use. Effectively EOL. I'm sad, but no time for self pity when there's work to replace the OS on our systems...
Thank you, CentOS team. Incredible success for many years - I've enjoyed the ride with you.
These (firefox and thunderbird) are now released.
Hi Johnny and all,
Thank you very much for your hard work on this, it's much appreciated!
Regards, Simon
NOTE: We can not get Firefox/Thunderbird to build on ppc/ppc64 or armhfp right now, it is likely that either it will no longer be supported on these or certainly not until later on. Several of the 'toolsets' that I need are not building cleanly on those arches.
The aarch64 are ppc64le builds are building ok, but still being tested before release.
I was also trying to do all 7 architectures for both of these. Moving forward,it seems that the only ones we can reliably build are x86_64, i686, aarch64 and ppc64le for CentOS Linux 7.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
While we are at it, I saw the following lines in /usr/bin/thunderbird and it looks like %RHEL_ENV_VARS% should be replaced at build time.
Can someone tell me what is there instead on a RHEL system?
Thanks, Simon
