Thunderbird 68.3.1 Slackware - Current create custom binary for 14.1
by bitfuzzy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4X4S1)
Is there a way to create a binary installation of Thunderbird from my Slackware-Current installation to run on 14.1?
I've got two servers running 14.1 that can't be upgraded at the moment and a new laptop I'm testing Slackware-Current on to eventually replace laptops running 14.1.
I need to transfer my Thunderbird profile between my laptop and one of the servers and back again from time to time
I've downloaded the Thunderbird 68.3.1 binary from Mozilla to match the version running on my laptop (Slackware-Current) however because the build dates differ, I'm getting errors on the 14.1 machine after a transfer due to it being technically a older version (by two days) than what's running on the laptop.
I have a work around for the error, but it's a P.I.T.A.
Suggestions?
