Thunderbird 3.0

Wawa · 12-14-2009, 05:44 AM

Hello there !

I try to find a slackbuild file for Thunderdird 3.0 and Slack 13.0 (I use 64 bits version).

Slacky.eu and Slackbuilds.org do not have it...

Any address where i can find that ?

Anyboby know if this version of Thunderbird will be included soon in Slackware "current" ?

Thanks a lot.

Philippe

I'm afraid you'll have to do that yourself. Hari-kiri (or Seppuku) is suicide. If I help you then it would be murder ;-)

TB 3.0 is a wonderful upgrade from the Mozilla people, but, it is *not* offered for Slackware 13.0. I'm running TB 3.0 in -current and I love it.

A mozilla-thunderbird.SlackBuild for version 3.0 is here

ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/ftp.slac...a-thunderbird/
( slackware64-current )

ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/ftp.slac...ird.SlackBuild
.....

Will this work on stable?

If you want it on Slackware 13.0 it's probably best to grab the sources & SlackBuild and build a package yourself.
You can always try installing the -current package on 13.0 and see what happens, but no warranties in that case...

if someone wanna try it, I built one for my slackware64-13.0s, it's here (hope i don't break any licenses, in case please tell me and I'll remove the link quickly).

EDIT: link removed, not allowed.

~sHyLoCk~ · 12-14-2009, 10:18 AM

Thanks Eric. I went ahead with building it on my Slack13.0 and upgraded from 2 to 3. It works fine.

Shylock,

Did you build Thunderbird by modifying the Slackware 13 SlackBuild script? If not, how did you build it?

Regards,

I built it using the slackbuild from -current.

Indeed, you are not allowed to re-distribute a binary build of Thunderbird or Firefox containing "official branding", i.e. like Slackware builds it, unless you have explicit permission from Mozilla Corp.

Remove the branding and call it "Lightningbat".

ponce · 12-14-2009, 12:51 PM

i removed the link and the file from my repo, it was easier and painless

tnx alien bob for the tip.

EDIT: trying for fun to build lightningbat without --enable-official-branding configure parameter, will post back the link

btw, having an official slack64-13.0 package will be a great thing
