[Slackbuilds-users] signal-desktop updates

[Greg Tourte]

I am on holidays at the moment so cannot really update my packages but i
have followed the thread and if the sollution propose is acceptable, I will
update the script so that we can have the latest version for slackware.

However, distributing 8.1 in sbo is not a good idea as it will not work.
Signal somehow block old version of the clients from connecting.

So we can definitely remove the legacy package, but if you can wait a
couple of weeks we can have a fully working version in the repo. That is of
course unless sbo admin have decided that the proposed solution is not
something we should do with pur packages.

Sorry for being out of contact for a while.

Cheers

Greg
