Security Advisories for Thunderbird

None?

I was expecting problem with new freetype-2.6, now we have the first one:

../../gfx/skia/SkFontHost_FreeType.o: In function `SkTypeface_FreeType::onGetAdvancedTypefaceMetrics(SkAdvancedTypefaceMetrics::PerGlyphInfo, unsigned int const*, unsigned int) const':
/tmp/comm-esr38/mozilla/gfx/skia/trunk/src/ports/SkFontHost_FreeType.cpp:560: undefined reference to `FT_Get_X11_Font_Format'

Help would be much appreciated.

I will investigate only tomorrow.

Think it should be easly solved, from the freetype changelog:

​http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/6579

    - Function   `FT_Get_X11_Font_Format'   has    been   renamed   to
      `FT_Get_Font_Format',  since  this   name  better  reflects  its
      function.  For backwards compatibility, the old function name is
      still available.

I've run without libvpx-1.4.0 sed nor gcc5 patch.

Stopped at about 7.5SBU, with -j4.

Thunderbird does not build with freetype-2.6.

Built using

# Building is broken with system freetype-2.6
ac_add_options --enable-tree-freetype

No libvpx and gcc5 fixes needed, but also needed:

ac_add_options --enable-application=mail

after it built firefox-38.0.1esr.

However it was completely unstable, had to revert back to version 31.7.0.

Worse yet, it seems to have broken part of my ~/.thunderbird.

Sorry, but don't know what to do now. I am starting to believe that this, like firefox-38.0.6, is a "released mistake or for special purpose".

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Seems that an add-on was the problem. it is running fine, now.

Fixed at r16117.

Thanks, Igor for fixing thunderbird-31.7.0-gcc5-1.patch.

Happy hearing from you. Would like very much having you back.

If you find a fix to build 38.0.1 with system freetype-2.6, we would appreciate very much.
