At Fosdem 21 conference it was announced that next summer Thunderbird 91 will be released, which again will include fundamental changes. My impression is that this time many months have been wasted because of unclear procedures and responsibilities - not because of unsolvable technical problems. (I hope we will see Thunderbird 78 before version 91 is out... - just kidding)
@osomon: Thank you Olivier for taking care of this issue. Would you please write a short post mortem after the successful backport, where the difficulties have been, what steps to take and what responsible persons to contact to solve such a situation in future? This will definitely not be the last major Thunderbird update that needs to be back ported to LTS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1895643 Title: Backport Thunderbird 78 to 20.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in thunderbird source package in Bionic: Triaged Status in thunderbird source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in thunderbird source package in Groovy: Fix Released Bug description: Upstream Thunderbird version 78.2.2 should be a candidate for backporting to stable Ubuntu releases. I've successfully built 78.2.1 against both with forcing nodejs version (20.04, 18.04) and disabling AV1 support due to too old nasm (18.04). Attaching debdiffs here.
