I need to fix a kernel problem to ublock some builds. I think TB 16 is there, you should just be able to do "yum install thunderbird" Of the 12K source packages, a lot more binary, in F17+ we're only missing around 300 in total so if it's in mainline Fedora and it's not x86 specific or some of the more strange packges (ada, D, fpc and a few others) it'll likely just be a "yum install" away. Testing and feedback of everything and anything gladly welcomed... both good and bad :) Peter > Dave > > > On 3 December 2012 22:53, Peter Robinson <pbrobinson@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> On Mon, Dec 3, 2012 at 10:46 PM, David Rusling <david.rusling@xxxxxxxxxx> >> wrote: >> > Peter, >> > >> > On 3 December 2012 22:42, Peter Robinson <pbrobinson@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> >> >> Hi David, >> >> >> >> On Mon, Dec 3, 2012 at 10:29 PM, David Rusling >> >> <david.rusling@xxxxxxxxxx> >> >> wrote: >> >> > all, >> >> > it's been a while since I've build / been involved with RPM >> >> > packages, >> >> > but >> >> > I now have a Samsung ARM chromebook to play with.
