- name: thunderbird
- description: Thunderbird is a free email application that’s easy to set up and customize - and it’s loaded with great features!
- snapcraft: snapcraft.yaml
- upstream: https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/
- upstream-relation: Canonical is working with Thunderbird upstream on maintaining that snap
- interfaces:
- system-files:
- request-type: connection and auto-connection
- reasoning: the change is similar to what we did for firefox on https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/update-to-the-system-files-interfaces-used-by-firefox and will resolve https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1908870. The corresponding github PR is https://github.com/ubuntu/thunderbird/pull/28. We will land the change first to the beta channel and then stable. It changes the read access from /etc/thunderbird/policies to /etc/thunderbird. Similarly to what was done in firefox the the new snap declaration will probably better preserve the old entry as well (the plug name is changed)
