Tails

What was discussed during the summit was something between 3 and 6 months, I think.

Say we ship Icedove in Tails version N.

I propose that we include Claws Mail in versions N and N+1, and drop it in N+2, so that users have 3 months (until N+2 is out) to migrate. I have no specific reason to hurry, other than the ones we have for migrating away from Claws Mail.

If someone prefers a longer transition time, please take into account that if we keep Claws Mail in Tails 2.0, then we need to test and support the migration from Wheezy’s Claws Mail to Jessie’s (it might be trivial, but checking it will take time and would need a volunteer).

Personally, I’d propose to drop Claws in Tails Jessie. I’m always worried about changing stuff too fast, and here we have a very good reason not to keep it in Tails Jessie, so that looks like a reasonable deadline. And maybe the N+2 as proposed by intrigeri will be Tails Jessie anyway.

Just to be extra explicit: once we have Icedove it should replace the Claws Mail icon from the application shortcuts, and Claws Mails should only be accessible from the Applications menu.

Hopefully Tails Jessie <= N+2, otherwise $someone will have to do quite some painful work and ditch it 6-12 weeks later.
If Tails Jessie >> N+2, then we’ll have to reconsider and see if someone volunteers to do that work.
No need to bother about discussing this much more now IMO, as I’m quite hopeful about Tails Jessie <= N+2.
