Yes, I did that.  I had removed the change when I thought the version Thunderbird asked me about downloading might be in the repository, but I had the brains to put it back.

After you upgrade thunderbird, remember to add "^mozilla-thunderbird" to the "exclude" expression in /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc", before your next system upgrade.  Otherwise, your new thunderbird will be replaced with the old one.

HTH,

Hi Al,

quick answer: after each upgrade.
This is:  thunderbird -P --allow-downgrade (mind the capital P)

Cheers,

Hi, Didier.
Quick question:  since I installed a version of Thunderbird according to the instructions you linked to last week, do I still need to use "-p allow-downgrade" to bring it up after a new install?  (I hope I wrote that right, as I did it from memory.)
Thanks!
Al

Hi Brandt,

Discard the comment about Speech Dispatcher, a fairly recent
one is     already in Slint.

Hi all,


I just checked the version of Thunderbird in slint, and I saw it is about 10 versions out of date. Is there a way to get a newer version of the software? I know, I can probably get it from github, but I must admit, it is not my favorite way of installing software.
