Re: [Trisquel-users] IceDove / e-mail client

"we be concerned that Trisquel's repo has IceDove 38.8.0, while Debian seems  
to be already in v. 52.2.1?"

No. You're looking at Debian sid, which is a name for their unstable branch -  
what will eventually become a future Debian version. The versions in sid get  
updated as new versions are pulled in but once a release happens the version  
is then frozen for the life of that release. You're seeing something similar  
happening in Trisquel. If you look at Debian Wheezy (which is currently  
Debian's oldstable release) and you'll see a more familiar version number.  
Stability in Debian-land means "keeping the version number the same." Even  
though the version number gets frozen when a given version of Debian is  
released it still gets bug and security updates and so there is no need to  
fear the version number. :)
