Seamonkey

Does anyone know what the problem with Seamonkey is? The version current in the repos was flagged out-of-date over a month ago, but there has been no sign of an update yet.

I'd build it myself, but since the ABS was stopped, I've no easy way of getting a current PKGBUILD and working out what was needed to build it.

ABS was deprecated because better alternatives exist and they have a comprehensive documentation and sometimes a maintainer might be busy with life, it can happen.
