Betterbird - A fine-tuned version of Mozilla Thunderbird
Correct, we administer the patches on GitHub, for Linux there is a "one click" build available here: https://github.com/4ch1m/ansible-betterbird. As a soft-fork, we don't keep a copy of the underlying software base. That allows us to always be up-to-date without suffering security issues like other forks of Mozilla projects.

Ask HN: How do you sync your computers development configurations/environment?
I symlink a few files in place via Dropbox, but have most of my local configs in a dot files repo: https://github.com/geerlingguy/dotfiles
