MX-19 Repository: The Thunderbird Thread

[karlchen]

Hello, mmikeinsantarosa,

in the thread Packages being worked on by the Repo Team you mentioned on Thu Nov 12, 2020 10:26 pm

thunderbird-78.4.2 from sid

I wonder a bit whether there is any plan perhaps on publishing Thunderbird 78.5.0 in the MX Test repo any time soon?
(Yes, Thunderbird updates kept on coming in in very short intervals during the past few weeks.)

Best regards,
Karl

btw, to fix my at&t login issue about a month ago, I had to upgrade to 78.4. The 68.12 I was using just didn't want to cooperate. I'm now on 78.5 and like others have pointed out, it looks a little different but I had no issues upgrading. - Mike

Couldn't get the calendar working, provider google calendar was not supported for 78.5, even though I installed the package in MXPI test. Went back to the one in popular apps.

MAN is that new version UGLY! Yikes.

My lightning/calendar is present and working. I'm assuming you upgraded from 78.4.0 like I did.
google calendar?

[Eadwine Rose]

Nope I upgraded from 68.12 0-1 etc the mx one, the most recent in stable.

Calendar google provider: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/th ... -calendar/
Version 78.2.0 shows up in the add ons, not 78.5.

I cannot enable my calendar since that calendar google provider is not compatible.

Am I in the right thread for this btw?

[mmikeinsantarosa]

Am I in the right thread for this btw?

I'd say so.
I've never used google calendar but it looks like it's been a problem since July of this year. And I see some reports of no lightning being present after 78.n.
hmmm...

[Eadwine Rose]

Yeah I know.. I read a few hopeful messages which made me decide to pinch the nose and plunge in. It was some icy water alright!

I wager I will stick with this 68. Just another reason to be careful with upgrading. I know how to get the old one back and I made a backup right before I tried. Not everyone knows what to do and how to.
