Are you saying that just because they are from the same company, two products must use exactly the same components, even if they are two different products and use a totally different release scheme (Thunderbird is based on Firefox ESR release scheme) ?

Thunderbird's regular yearly releases, [is] based on the Mozilla Extended Support Release (ESR) release cycle

While the Mozilla Firefox is released in latest stable channel e.g. mozilla-firefox-105.0-x86_64-1.txz , Mozilla Thunderbird looks like is released in a LTS channel. See mozilla-thunderbird-102.3.0-x86_64-1.txz of -current versus mozilla-firefox-102.3.0esr-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz of Slackware 15.0 . Did you see that the versions matches with the LTS release of Firefox?

That's why I think that is obvious that they requires different Rust compilers.

GazL 09-23-2022 04:27 AM

I don't want to take this thread further off-topic and won't respond any futher, but I'll just say that IMO the lack of backward compatibility in Rust is the bigger issue and that the rest is simply a consequence of that. ESR vs non-ESR does muddy the waters somewhat.

Wasn't Thunderbird spun off from the Mozilla Foundation several years ago and is now developed by a different, but related, group?

The name seems fitting, as Rust code quickly develops bitrot. I can't wait until we need to keep a third version of the Rust compiler on hand for the kernel.

  Fixed stack-based buffer overflow.
  Thanks to marav for the heads-up.
  In addition, Mig21 pointed out an issue where the defaults.vim file might
  need to be edited for some purposes as its contents will override the
  settings in the system-wide vimrc. Usually this file is replaced whenever
  vim is upgraded, which in those situations would be inconvenient for the
  admin. So, I've added support for a file named defaults.vim.custom which
  (if it exists) will be used instead of the defaults.vim file shipped in
  the package and will persist through upgrades.
