Now fast forward a few years to 2020 after working on this on-and-off.
With the release process still being half-manually generated (though
the process has gotten a bit faster), I figured I'd tackle this update
issue once and for all.
The way it works on Linux distros is really much better than I remember
on Windows where individual apps had their own updaters with their own
schedules, installers, and admin rights. On Linux distros, you run a
simple command and the whole o/s (and all apps) offer their updates.
SeaMonkey is already in EPEL for example, so it's a ten second job to
update it. You don't need to run an exe file (installer), you just copy
a few files, and you can even downgrade.
What is EPEL?
Ubuntu doesn't provide SeaMonkey in its main repo anymore.
I have to download and install each new version over the old. An
internal app update mechanism would be greatly appreciated.
