Apologies for the lack of feedback earlier. I got distracted by a
'broken' samba config and a printer needing to be moved ~0.5 miles...
Can we have a %changelog entry to show (roughly) what was done from the
Vendors version?

This one has the old dependency on 'desktop-file-utils >= 0.9'
Diffing the specs from -1 and -3 (since they seem to have the smaller

which all looks good apart from the 0.9... (actually I'd leave the
original bookmarks file in as well but that is just me :-)
Oh can we have ubuntu.com added to the Distros in the default bookmarks
please? I get enough complaints from ubuntu users already... :-)
Ignoring that dependency, firefix installs and seems to run. I've not yet
tested what will need changing (from the 1.0.8 setup) for our hackery to
tweak the default config (tweaking the home, and altering the basic
settings etc)...
I'll try to have more news shortly.

That doesn't have the %post, %postun scriptlets commented out so on
installing I get:
...
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.89937: line 1: update-desktop-database: command not found
error: %post(thunderbird-1.5.0.5-0.SL3.1) scriptlet failed, exit status 127
Apart from the error tbird seems to install and a trivial test worked.
I'm about to test if I can install a GB speeling dictionary (probably a
different one than 1.0.8 needed...)
