XOAUTH2 with Alpine on slack142
by pisti from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5M83K)
i still use slack142 on my main machine with Alpine 2.20 - but for a bunch of work mail servers i need 2FA XOAUTH2 (2-factor authentication) which requires an upgrade to Alpine 2.22 or even better 2.24.2.
- i thought about simply upgrading Alpine with the newest version from -Current - will that work for slack142 ?
- or will compiling the Alpine 2.24.2 source code do it, on this old slack142 VPS ? any dependency war to expect ?
i am a bit uneasy about fiddling with email related software as i access with my Alpine setup 4 different mail services i depend on - and i simply can't break things here.
evidently a full upgrade to slack15 will solve all this but we are not there yet... i suppose, at some point, when it's ready :)
