However the effect of following the recommendation is orphaning x86_64 from lightning. What seems an issue to me is not considering calendar integration (whether by add-on, or built-in) as a must for thunderbird (so far such integration for x86_64 is only possible built-in). So I can compile my own thunderbird-lightning package (already did, with the enable option before), but as the issue is that calendar integration is not consider a must for thunderbird, while it is a need for me, perhaps the best approach for me is to drop thunderbird for another e-mail client for which calendar integration is a must... If calendar integration was a must, another option might have been considered: 1.- Drop calendar support for x86_64. (selected option) 2.- Keep calendar support with 3.0 built-in. 3.- Don't update to 3.0 for x86_64 until calendar support is enabled through add-on. Any ways, I won't discuss further since answers indicate people is OK with the decision... Thanks, -- Javier.
